Re: Benchmarking a script

If you have an apache webserver setup you should look into the ab, apache benchmark suite. This will give you a very good tool to benchmark your files in its correct environment without altering your code. If youre on a windows plattform and cant locate the ab.exe tool please tell me and I'll email it to you, I remember I spent some time finding it. -- -- Kim Steinhaug ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.webkitpro.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Anguz" <clavaque@prodigy.net.mx> wrote in message news:20040623083701.70645.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Hello, > > I have a script I am optimizing and want to compare the before and after > in speed.
