this is due to the fact that we want to be compatbile to the MediaWiki 
styles. At the moment we are loading the original Monobook styles and 
overwrite parts of them afterwards with customized styles.
In regards of performance this is probably the worst thing we could do, 
but this is the only way that allows us to

- benefit from MediaWiki's adjustments for different browsers
- and be able to update to new MediaWiki versions without having
  to rewrite major parts of the template and the css

The only alternative would be to use custom styles and scripts only. 
Unfortunately I do not have enough time to do that (in one of my other 
lives I am a member of the documentation team that writes SUSE Linux 
manuals and 10.2 is already on the doorstep ;-)).
