Are there any benefits or penalties for using...
/links/
instead of
http://www.mysite.com/links/
...when doing internal linking? I've had a habit of using full URLs but I got thinking the other day, are they really necessary when I am just linking to other content under the same domain? If there is no benefit, "partial" URLs would mean less (a small small fraction, but still less) bandwidth and easier-to-read code compared to using full URLs.
