RE: Print or Echo takes lots of time

Hi, Thanks for supporting, because of the approaching to the problem, I don't want to change generate once echo once style. And I found solution like this, I split  variable into an array and generate loop for printing, mostly fix the problem. And more interesting, some times problem repeates himself. I believe this was connected to php memory performance. Anyhow is there any information about optimal echo or print size ?
