I understand this is very helpful in dev mode but is this a good thing
in production mode?  Downloading the CSS file every single time the
user accesses a page of yours slows things down doesn''t it.
Isn''t one
of the benefits of putting CSS in a seperate file the fact that it can
be cached?

Do people tend to turn this off for production?
