Entertainingly, the size for naver.com and youtube.com are the same for me, both reaching 1.6MB (without caching). As far as I can see, the only difference is that for naver.com, 1.3MB are for images with 0.3MB for the page whereas with youtube.com only 0.6MB are for images and 1MB is for the page.

Are you testing under firefox? They are serving some crazy HTML for it - chrome gets much smaller source... like three times smaller.

For me, it's about the same between Chrome and Firefox. 1.7MB worth of HTML,css,inline js, ton of json.

Interesting, i get 50kb gzipped in chrome, and 150kb gzipped in firefox.
