Not really. Where's this number coming from?

I consider it nonsense. It makes web applications even more unreliable
and doesn't save anything. Whether you put your content in a misused
cookie or in the message body doesn't make much of a difference.

Loaded where? In the browser? This would also be the case with a regular
XHR call - one time the whole document and then only short fragments.
And for the server the load is also the same.
