Hi, Peter. It's fun to read about how mincss is making sites faster. I have one issue with your results, however. You mention how the page starts rendering much sooner. If we look at the "before" results ( http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130121_H_1MQ/1/details/ ) we see that rendering is blocked waiting for c98c3dfc8525.css. The weird thing is we can see that c98c3dfc8525.css is downloaded TWICE (see requests #2 & #12). It would be great if you could figure out why this happened (IE8 anomaly?) and re-run to get more comparable results.

It appears to respond with a 200 the first time so I honestly don't know what's going on.
I'll re-run the tests with a sane browser and see if it's reproduce-able.
