Reducing the size of CSS files

Not sure if this is a dumb question or not :)

I've just taken over a website, written using FrontPage, and I'm a bit
of a novice at using it...

It's been written using themes, applied to each page. The problem with
this is that for performance/conformance reasons, I have to keep the
page size down to a minimum (each page < 50 Kb) and the .css files that
the themes are producing are making the pages too large (> 60Kb).

Does anyone know how I can make frontpage stop spitting out these
overly large .css files? Or am I just better of righting the website
from scratch?

Cheers
 
The CSS file is only download to the user's PC once per session, the first time a page is requested
from the site, not each time a page is requested.

If using FP 2003 the themes are "bloated" by the styles used for WSS
For info on what to clean out see http://sbrenjoy.bizland.com/frontpage/themes/newthemes.html
That will reduce the CSS from ~32kb to ~ 4kb
