I don't believe it would affect anything, or the diffference is so small the difference would be negligible.

I agree, what about standard HTML vs XHTML?

Re: XHTML Strict vs Transitional Performance

Again, I don't believe it would affect anything, or the difference is so small the difference would be negligible. The things that affect page load are things like image size, amount of code in the page, javascript, server side scripting, the server, etc...

also, allowing the cache to maintain your external css file and js files, reducing http calls to other locations.
