 If you're that concerned about filesize, then gzip.

 If all content was WordPress generated, then `<base>` would be just fine
 as WordPress would know it's there. However all content is not WordPress
 generated -- much of it (namely post content and such) comes from the user
 who may or may not know about the `<base>` tag and it's setting. If they
 put a relative URL in their post, it could easily be broken and not go
 where they expected it to go.

 Not to mention I believe (but am not sure) that absolute URLs are
 recommended for SEO purposes.
