RE: What About Price vs. Performance?

Would the efficiency of the html make a difference? 
No extra html, short form element names, etc?  Style

Just wondering if an extremely efficient 5250
datastream is being compared to some terribly bloated
3.2 html, and if so, whether that would make a
difference.
