I didn't scientifically verify it, but when I was hand-creating EPUBs it appeared that ADE rendered books which used CSS @import statements visibly more slowly than just <link/>ing each stylesheet directly from the markup. If you're planning to use @import statements, you may want to confirm whether or not that is in fact the case. (My guess is that it causes an extra trip through through the archive-reading layer, because the renderer doesn't know it needs until it starts to parse the CSS.)
