Do frames use up bandwidth?

    My question may be dumb, but on frames (i know, I never use them) do they take up a lot of bandwidth?
    Similar to proxying

    Shouldnt use more than if the content was directly on a site.

    They shouldn't use up any more bandwidth than a normal site without frames.

    well if you are going to get 1000 page loads of media rich sites, that would take up a good bit of bandwidth wouldn't it ;)

    if you show an external site using frames it would not use your bandwidth.
