Hello Trevor,

True, it doesn't do anything other than output the HTML. But it's that
"load - scan - determine - output" that takes up CPU time and memory.
Sure, on most sites it doesn't matter one bit. But on popular sites..
well, you can do the math I'm sure.
I guess at the end of the day it comes down to "don't do un-necessary
things". That goes for your code as well as your server set-up, but
it's true to say that if you don't actually need to parse HTML as PHP,
then don't.
Best regards,
Richard Davey
