Author Page Views Slow Page Load Times

The plugin is great for tracking multiple authors. The problem I run into is when the plugin is enabled, it can add 2-3 seconds to each load time due to the css file it uses to track each page view.

Here is an image: http://i2.minus.com/i4OsFPvCQ1UbB.jpg

I can repro this on other blogs. Would love to get your thoughts on how to resolve this.

Thnx
