I guess that's why you're seeing inline styles - the browser then doesn't even have to make a processing decision as such, it just applies the style rules directly to the element in question.

Having some inline style defined doesn't prevent element from being affected by other sources of style information. I doubt, that inline styles are because of speed improvements, and think this is just the result of nobody caring. I don't see how inline styles relate to slow modem connection (apart from making document bigger and taking longer to download). Yes, separate stylesheet can make your first request to take longer, but then you'll have it cashed. With inline styles you send presentation info every time. It can make sense, only in case, when size ot this information takes less than ~0.5KB (aproximates size of HTTP headers to check a stylesheet on server side and get 304 "Not modified" response).
