Some of the decorator classes I added more recently may have the odd issue still but nothing I'm aware of at the moment. > Of course you can use Cache_Lite to reach even higher speed, > and IIRC Harry wanted to do some more work on the decorator > classes, to make caching the date-related part (as opposed to > date calculations + user-land decorator objects as an atomic block) > easier. Generally performance should be "OK" - each date gets represented as an object so PHP has some work to do creating, say, all the days in a month. Caching the calendar at some level (even if just HTML) is probably worth doing and, as Lorenzo says, there's some work to come to make caching easier.
