 * Hoi,
 * Is it possible that you can implement so the mailchimp plugin actually writes
   the contents to a css file, instead of using the dynamic “?mcsf_action=main_css”
   as you do currently?
 * It should be rather simple moving the logic from the views/css/frontend.php file
   to the backend – and thus write the CSS to a file that will be used.
 * I’m not sure if you guys are aware, that doing the dynamic CSS like you’re currently
   doing, loads up the whole WP Core to generate a piece of CSS which is served 
   on every single pageview on some sites.
 * Result: Unnecessary calls to PHP – meaning unnecessary processing on the server
   and thus waste of resources from a performance point of view.
