    Links Speed

    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
    ASP, PHP, VB, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, a little C and a little CGI.

    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?
