Performance question

Hi! I have a page that uses server-side includes to display different features. Something like this: <html> <!--#include virtual="feature1.php"--> (a few db calls) <!--#include virtual="feature2.cgi"--> (perl-script with db calls) <!--#include virtual="feature3.php"--> (even more db calls) </html> If everything is embedded in a php-page I assume that the parser would start only once, and that the db-connections would be open until the whole page closes? If the assumption above is correct, does the same apply to a .shtml-page? Or does the parser execute eache php-script one at the time, each time invoking the parser? Somehow I'm afraid I have to rewrite my perl code to php and put everything on one page, but I would sure like to hear a few arguments on how to plan for performance. /Fredrik -- ---------------------------------------------- Fredrik Wahlberg Tel: 08-54 54 56 12 Fusage Fax: 08-54 54 56 10 Kungstensgatan 38a Mobil: 070-576 16 51 113 59 STOCKHOLM http://www.fusage.com ----------- fredrik@fusage.com ---------------
