Last benchmarks I saw clocked in at 5 to 10% loss to run all .htm and .html files through PHP. That was awhile ago, though. Test on a dev server with apache benchmark (ab) before and after and see. PHP doesn't really *DO* much until it hits '<?php' if you think about it. It just reads the file, uses something like strtok() to search for '<?php' and spits it back out. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
