A benchmark of some themes css with Google Page Speed (http://code.google.com/intl/fr/speed/page-speed/docs/rendering.html#UseE...):

gingko
13 very inefficient rules
15 inefficient rules
0 potentially inefficient uses of :hover
114 total rules.

foundation
13 very inefficient rules
18 inefficient rules
0 potentially inefficient uses of :hover
241 total rules.

chameleon
13 very inefficient rules
31 inefficient rules
0 potentially inefficient uses of :hover
221 total rules.

basic
18 very inefficient rules
23 inefficient rules
1 potentially inefficient uses of :hover
236 total rules.

clean
23 very inefficient rules
26 inefficient rules
0 potentially inefficient uses of :hover
274 total rules.

zen
18 very inefficient rules
39 inefficient rules
1 potentially inefficient uses of :hover
415 total rules.

Would it be worth reducing (or supressing) inefficient rules in Zen?

I'd bet some of those inefficient rules are ones that Zen uses to override rules in core that have the same selector.

Can I have some specifics?
