speed test data

Hi! So here are my speed test numbers: --------------------------------------- FuncFancy: first display: 120 - 170 subsequent refreshes: 40 - 60 FuncBare: fisrt: 70 - 130 sub : 30 - 50 InnerBare: first: 60 - 110 sub : 20 - 40 InnerFancy: first: 150 - 200 sub: ~100 --------------------------------------- date_gnz: fisrt: 40 - 60 sub : 10 - 20 date_plain: first: 30 - 40 sub: 10 - 20 --------------------------------------- Conclusion: As expected, the Inner method is quicker for a plain skin, where only a visible setting need to be done, and no function calls. The function based method however seems to be quicker for a "designed skin", especially as we see the refreshes. The speed test made by Gonzalo are producing small numbers IMHO because: a) the content itself is not that much b) there are external JS codes, may be cached by IE I actually made subsequent refresh test, because we need to consider the IE cache effect, where the new pages won't have to load the JS in, as it will be in cache. Our highest priority in speed is to make the included skins (lo and hi) as fast as we can, and after then, make the addon skins fast. I think I'll make some files from Brendan's files, with external JS code, and see how this speeds up the processing. BTW my test machine was an AMD 850 with 400MB RAM, Win2k, included IE5.0 Goba
