Re: Web Server processing question

Ok. A simplified version of the subroutines (still with the same problem though): function SimpleList($Data,$MaxStats = "10",$Heading = "&nbsp;") { if (is_array($Data)) { $Output = ""; $Output .= SimpleItem("$Heading","",2); foreach ($Data as $Player => $Qty) { $Output .= SimpleItem($Player,$Qty); } print $Output; } } function SimpleItem($Left,$Right = "&nbsp;",$Colspan = "") { if (!empty($Colspan)) { return("<tr valign='top'><td class='smaller' colspan='2'>$Left</td></tr>\n"); } return("<tr valign='top'><td class='smaller'>$Left</td><td align='right' class='smaller'><b>$Right</b></td></tr>\n"); } That's all it does. During the tests, the array of data only contained 10 elements, and still some of the calls to this function took 10 seconds "Christian Reiniger" <creinig@mayn.de> wrote in message news:01052316515004.00599@chrisbig... > In the following example, which is the one that I'm concerned about, > the same function is called multiple times in a row (with nothing > happening in between calls) for different "categories".

Well, as it really alternates between fast and slow, there has to be some "real" reason for it.
