Out of curiosity, why do mega-threads (large threads) take up more bandwidth than a number of smaller threads? I don't see any reason, but on another board I am getting into this argument and don't want to sound like a total moron. The only thing I could think of is that such a topic could spur more user activity...
 
You click on a small thread, you download 300bytes. You click on a "Big" thread you download 2k.

300+300+300=900bytes.

2k+2k+2k=6000bytes.

More Bytes more bandwitdh.

LOL. Mean time I waste bandwidth.
 
In that case any difference would be minimal and would be because of something like how the DB server handles different record sizes.
 
The one big 1500K will save few hundreds bytes, since there will be only one link overhead ID etc.
