Re: Transparent session handling

I was told the difference is negligible, but it it is a big page and takes a long time to process (10 seconds?) then the user doesn't have anything on the screen for 10 seconds and gets everything at once. This might be annoying to the user, but I don't know if performance suffers. I don't see why cookies or no cookies would matter for output buffering. Why do you say that?
