How many characters are in the average HTML document?

Has anyone read any estimates of the average # of characters in an HTML document (the html source). I'd like to know to optimize some code I'm writing.

How many characters are in the average HTML document?
Average page size = 18.7KB (1999 estimate) = 18,700 characters assuming it doesn't include images but it probably includes all HTML tags and javascript in addition to the text you read in a browser.





See the link below for more detailed information from a 2003 study.
