In that regard, I still don't know how important a factor it is for
CSS pages to render 1/3 faster than table layouts, even on a slow(er)
computer -- it would have to be an extremely, extremely complex page,
I would think, for it to be any difference greater than negligible.
i think we are talking about file size here. when css resides in a
remote style sheet, all styles are written once. when styles are inline,
they are repeated numerous time, thus enlarging the file size and
parsing time (on your computer
With a separate CSS style sheet, the *style sheet* is cached by the
browser and reused when other pages at the site call for it. With inline
styles (even in the document header) they're downloaded all over again.
Also, bandwidth costs. Maybe not the visitor so visibly (unless you're
working in some South American countries, where you pay a per-minute fee
to several different entities on top of what you pay your ISP). But the
company providing the site has to pay for bandwidth (even a hosting
service has to factor in bandwidth cost when setting their prices).
Reducing the bandwidth consumption reduces that cost.
