Re: Code Speed & Optimization

The *FIRST* thing you need to determine is *WHY* and *WHERE* your pages are being slowed down. 90% of your problem is in 10% of your system. It *MIGHT* be your database connections. It *MIGHT* be your hard drive thrashing. It *MIGHT* be your bandwidth isn't up to snuff. It *MIGHT* be your RAM over-loaded. Until you know what's the bottle-neck, you aren't optimizing -- You're wasting time. The time you spend figuring out what to fix will more than make up for the time saved from installing stuff that won't help and will only confuse the issue. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
