[gopher] bandwidth overhead for gopher

[barana .]

assuming a set selector of 10 characters long, how many bytes would that be........... and could you compare that to the closest example of http and www with a 10 character long site adress? and how many bytes would the http version run into?

 I am under the impression that gopher has a far smaller data use overhead for its transmission duties.. Could someone please confirm or deny?
