Is there a difference in speed or anything finding pages depending on whether I put in a relative link or an actual link...e.g
http://www.awebsite.com/thissite/newpage.htm
rather than
thissite/newpage.htm

Any difference is a completely negligable computation, and doesn't affect network traffic. But there is a world of convienance in how you address a link. If your server name changes, or you move everything down a directory, do you really want to edit all your links?
