I've had a similar argument for years. Before there was CSS to do rounded corners on boxes, it was typical to do a hack with JS building up the rounded corners pixel by pixel. On the project I was working on, since all the rounded boxes were generated by the same component, I eliminated the client-side JS for a statically-generated set of output that did the same thing. It rendered noticeably faster. And I was overridden by the other team members who apparently felt it was better to manage this through having every single client render the rounded corners on their underpowered computers (this was for a company intranet and from the discussions about system requirements, most of the machines were running old versions of Windows on old PCs) instead of doing it once and for all on the server.
