That's not how it works. (It would take up a bit more space actually, because of the overhead of having every comment as a separate page)

The problem is that when you edit the saloon bar to add, say, a 100 byte comment, what's saved into the database is the full page, which is usually above 30 kilobytes. Each edit you make to the saloon bar, even if it's just fixing a typo, adds a lot of redundant data to the database.
