Direct vs relative linking and dns/server load

    I hope this is the right area to ask this question.
    I am trying to find out methods to reduce my server load and speed up page loading.

    Is it more server intensive to have an image link as http://www.mydomain.co.uk/image/Test.jpg or /images/Test.jpg ?

    I am guessing that using http://www etc will be slower as it has to do a dns lookup? Is that right?

    Thanks
