Gotchya. All good then. Excellent work and insight :)

Have you attempted to convert them to plain text and serve those? Or is there no real savings there?

Would probably lose more than you'd gain doing that. The HTML right now is so clean you can read it without a browser, almost looks like it might be hand written, while still preserving things like formulas and tables (which do need a browser).
