What is the distribution of HTML document sizes (mobile vs desktop)?

SELECT * FROM  
(SELECT 'desktop' type,
  NTH(50, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p50,
  NTH(75, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p75,
  NTH(90, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p90,
  NTH(99, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p99
FROM [httparchive:runs.latest_pages]),  
(SELECT 'mobile' type,
  NTH(50, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p50,
  NTH(75, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p75,
  NTH(90, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p90,
  NTH(99, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p99
FROM [httparchive:runs.latest_pages_mobile])

Mobile sites serve smaller HTML doc, but not by much! Data for Dec 2013…

Note: reported size is “as on the wire” - i.e. hopefully compressed.
