I don't think parsing and executing is the bottleneck, especially on mobile connections. Do you have any numbers on this?

It's actually worse on mobile, because mobile connections typically are not order of magnitude slower than non-mobile, but mobile cpu power can be order of magnitude more limited (esp. on lower end hardware).

Does not matter, same principles apply to CSS as well. Transferring is pretty lightweight operation compared to parsing & rule applying.
