BTW... what is your opinion on auto gen CSS? Good? Bad? Do you think there is a better alternative?
I'm not certain you really understand what you're asking, as it is a rather silly question to ask.
Let's first consider what is being used here -- most likely it is a php script with a series of cheap conditionals that paste in text or not. Since cycling through and globbing lines of text together is trivially easy in something like PHP (and fast!), a dynamically generated CSS, for the most part, is mostly comparable to a static CSS file, as you're not going to get radically different or complex style changes between browsers.
Other times, it may be stored in a database for retrieval, with cached copies stored in memory and fast media locales for quick access. In any case, most uses will have CSS's with minor differences, so storing the differences and a base copy is often easy.
