Thorsten, I'm curious if you've done any benchmarking to see if doing what you propose would really result in a significant improvement in access and overhead reduction. My suspicion is that the difference in access and/or overhead performance of code with comments and code without is negligible, particularly if you're using a PHP accelerator like Turck MMCache. If you decide to run benchmarks, please post the tests you ran and their results. -Clay -- Killersoft.com
