We don't know the operational scenario here. I pictured a process where the software would get loaded once and then run for a long time (perhaps hours or days) without changes. In this case, any recompilation time would be negligible. Another variant situation occurs when the program, on startup, gets the stylesheet paths from the config file and loads the stylesheet at that time. In this case too, creating the imports stylesheet would take just a little code and would incur no significant performance penalty (since the stylesheets would get compiled anyway, changed or not).
