It doesn't fully answer your question but it draws attention to some of the other performance factors that needs to be considered. I'm planning to do more research and testing on how the browser handles the single large file, and whether using data URIs in stylesheets has any effect on things like progressive rendering and reflow/repainting. I'll report back when I have some results. @Paolo

One of my favorite concepts and one that seems to be a driving force behind contemporary web development. Yay for economy! What a great example of “less is more”!
