Heh, just to test it, I submitted this comment page, the space savings are pretty amazing: (original size of 14.3 kB to 23.3 kB) [-63%]. Also, something seems weird in the calculation, my browser shows "24KB transfers, 36.5KB of resources"

It happens... you can't measure dependencies loaded by third party scripts since the server doesn't run any JS.

Why not? All the dependencies are hosted by trimread.com so by doing the measurements once (and when they change) gzipped then adding that for their calculation would do the trick.

The difference is from compression. For example the big stylesheet goes from 12kb side to 3.5 over the network.
