This depends but generally yes. Text at the top of the page is deemed more important than text at the bottom of the page. If your page is bloated and uses tables for instance your content may not start till like 200. One advantages to using css is that your content can start on like 6 or 7 depending how big the head area on your document is.
Your text to code ratio is very important. And it should be in the range of 30 to 45%. I would suggest that you look closer at your code and remove the comments, unnecessary DIV Ids, shorten names, etc. You should also have all the javaScript in an external file. Finally, look closer at your navigation for unnecessary code. This is where you can get a major increase quickly.
11% is certainly very less so you may like to clean the code and move all JS and CSS in seperate files. I don't think the extent of code matters much as long as you have some good quality text and the page size is relatively small including both content and code.
I have a site that I developed with what is now and obsolite product. Anyway I coded by hand what I thought would help seach engines find my site, on Comcast, as META NAME to no avail.
