I am obviously missing something, so please enlighten me. 

Why should antialiasing make a difference with respect to bandwidth? I
thought Render cached glyphs on the server, and that a glyph was an
ARGB image. If that's the case, the client should only have to
transmit the index of the glyph is wants drawn, and this would also be
the case for non-antialiased text, so I don't see why there would be
any difference.
