On the basis of that page, here's a wacky idea: noticing that the slowest
part of loading a new gallery page is downloading (in my case) 48
individiual thumbnails why not have gallery pre-build and cache the
thumbnails for each page as a single jpg (sprite-like) and repeat it to show
the individual images?

Hi,
the only benefit i see for splitting css files is "better" structure.
The author says its easier to maintain for example three smaller file
than one big file.
I do not agree.
For example lets say there is a color.css
I have .gAdminbar {}
I would have it in main.css AND in color.css
So i have to switch between two files depending on what i am changing.
If there will be "colorpacks" you would need to ship main.css,
green_color.css and red_color.css
So i don't see a simplification and the structure is not that better.
And another reason is, that the client has to do more HTTP requests.
