Two External CSS Files?

[Rex100]

I read somewhere that there's a download speed advantage to having two external CSS documents. If so , what sort of situation would that be?

Thanks,

I don't see how that would offer any speed advantage at all, because in the end it all loads into the same brick of code.

Yea, there is no speed advantage.

1) Organization
2) to use parent/child CSS system
3) using multiple pages with similar styles sheets
4) Maybe even using them in a sort of switching method for users (Can't some browsers do this?)

My favorite reason why having multiple style sheets kicks butt.... = igoogle.com
Not only customizing your website... but dragging stuff around.
