In function theme_head() in includes/theme.inc, there is style html code to load the misc/drupal.css stylesheet.

This causes the file drupal.css to be loaded, although xtemplate loads a configurable style sheet.

This adds 4 Kb per page view.

drupal.css and the configurable stylesheet are not identical. drupal.cs is common to all themes. themes then override the pieces they don't want, and add new styles as needed.

As these are external style sheets, they are only downloaded on the first Drupal page that a user visits, after that the browser gets the style sheet info from it's cache. Meaning that drupal.css only uses 4 k on the entry page.
