So, does this mean we have to minimize the >amount of code per page (which also means to minimize >number of includes) to improve response time? I mean, This was my concern too, since this is a script language, and not precompiled binary calls:((. I usually make it the compromize way: small, simple (unlikely to be ever changed), although widely used functions, are repeated inside every main script file; and big, less common, functions - are _included_, for better maintainability/documentation. Don't know how much it helps performance-wise though. -- i Leonid
