No links but something I do every so often is take one of my old 
table-based layouts and recode it with CSS, and my findings are similar. 
Not +50% in my case, but my coding habits have always been quite efficient. 
In one example the main page went from 3.09k to 1.72k with a 800 byte 
stylesheet.

I also recently reworked someone else's Frontpage built site that was 
replete with font tags and what not. It was a news page with several press 
releases. This went from 19.4k to 12.7k with a 700 byte stylesheet. Of 
this, the static text, which couldn't be altered, was 10.3k. So you could 
say the code went from 9.1k to 2.4k

In both cases the original layouts were maintained almost exactly. And the 
byte-savings are even larger when you're talking one stylesheet spread 
across many pages.

regards.
