Kind of a general question, but I'm wondering if anyone knows for sure which is best.

When I have a stylesheet where a declaration exists several times, I tend to think I can simplify and clean things up by applying it to multiple classes and Ids at a time. This seems best practice, but I wonder if it's really any faster.

example... which is faster, better, best practice? Imagine a scenario where it isn't just three items, but 20 or more. (note: To simplify, I wrote ''several other declarations" rather than a bunch of random declarations.)

This:

.item1 { width: 100%; /* several other declarations */ }
.item2 { width: 100% /* several other declarations */}
.item3 { width: 100% /* several other declarations */}



Or this, which I tend to do... but I'm not sure it's really any quicker... sometimes it even seems like it's More lines, though I'm trying to get rid of duplication:

.item1,
.item2,
.item3 { width: 100%; }

.item1 { /* several other declarations */ }
.item2 { /* several other declarations */ }
.item3 { /* several other declarations */ }

I'd listen to Christian J, you really need to keep in mind to have complexity and CSS/HTML code balanced.
