Are you worried about the server or the user's PC running the browser?
If it is the user then you need not worry. I believe that the
browser will only fetch the file once for each session, it will not
fetch it for every page. Similarly on the server they will only be
compiled once each time you change anything, and will only be served
to the browser when it asks for them.
