it has the extra code need to make the changes for the tops and bottoms .

the images themselves add about 20k - including the header images .

speed wise - there may be a slight slowing depending on a lot of things .

connection speed - time to load the slight differance in code .
images - most are reused after the first time by most browsers .
browser - ie is the slowest - firefox then opera . i find makes a differance .
web host - some just wont' send things as fast as others .

our site with mods process in .1 to .2 seconds on the changed styles .
normaly less than 2 sec its done sending everything on any style - server loads under 4.00 .

normal un-changed style is .10 to .15 seconds - still under 2 sec for everything .

its' a little bit of give to get .

bandwidth - couldnt' tell you as all the styles are changed
content served is different every day
- 200megs to 2gigs most is content .
