A good structure can speed up maintenance dramatically. I would say that too many calls to the server can slow your page load. I prefer to keep everything in one stylesheet. Print stylesheet should really be handled by the html, specifying the type print in the call to the css file. A further step in naming conventions (a method I use) is to separate class and id's so id's would follow #ThisIsMyId and classes .this-is-my-class This helps when using javascript to target items. especially when it comes to maintenance tasks.

A further step in naming conventions (a method I use) is to separate class and id’s

so id’s would follow
#ThisIsMyId
and classes
.this-is-my-class

This helps when using javascript to target items. especially when it comes to maintenance tasks.
