User blog comment:DaNASCAT/Update Your CSS and JavaScript To Speed Up Your Wiki/@comment-188432-20120823132434

Maybe I'm being simplistic here, but it seems to me that most people who've posted so far are concerned about loading their CSS through js. And I assume the use case that really bugs people is the importation of Common.css into Wikia.css and Monobook.css.

I understand the convenience aspect of using Common.css — one change there is taken up by both Wikia.css and Monobook.css. But if your primary consideration were speed of page loads, isn't the absolute fastest option simply to copy the code from Common.css into Wikia.css and Monobook.css? If you bypass the need for importation, there can't be any "importation lag" at all, right?
