Youtube Feather – same videos, less code

Youtube launched a trimmed down version of their site a few days ago called Feather (currently in Beta).
It works for me because I’m by no means any sort of power Youtube user, so I don’t mind tossing out any bells and whistles that JavaScript and CSS can provide.
I could tell from the layout that there was fat trimmed, but I wanted to see how much actual code was cut so I cracked open Safari’s developer panel (*note that the majority of the grey ‘Other’ category is the actual video being loaded, so that’s going to be the same size in both modes).

And here are the layout comparisons.
