But due to stylesheets being site-wide, and due to the maturity of caching
solutions, this stylesheet only has to be downloaded once. So what used to
be 100k per page is now 100k per site, with just 5k per page. So the
overall experience is much, much faster and significantly lower in overall
bandwidth cost.
