As someone who has shipped thriftily-sized sites targeting developing countries, what you're describing is a needlessly extreme optimization. Inlining 3kb of data vs. 13kb would be a nearly unnoticeable difference for even the worst connections – like in Guinea, whose median download speed is around 3mbps.
Inflating the document size does impact paint time, but it scarcely matters here.
