RE: [SMARTY-DEV] Is Smarty using PHP output buffering?

I disagree. If OB is faster then Smarty should use OB transparently to the user/developer. It's not fair to ask a developer to fetch when there's a display method based on performance issues. The two methods should do the same internally, the semantic difference is whether the method outputs the content or not. --- Luis Argerich ( ) ASCII Ribbon Campaign http://tikiwiki.sourceforge.net X against HTML on email "There's no spoon" / \ and Usenet posts > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Schulz [mailto:ths@4bconsult.de] > Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 5:23 PM > To: smarty-dev@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: [SMARTY-DEV] Is Smarty using PHP output buffering? > > > Monte Ohrt schrieb in php.smarty.dev: > > > I just ran a test on our CMS front page, gzip enabled, no caching. > > > > display() --> 1.724 secs/page > > echo fetch() --> 1.751 secs/page > > Hi, > > I think gzip does some output buffering... > > When I render the main template of my application, that > includes some other > templates and plugins (which fetch other templates) I get > these results: > > display() --> 0.65 secs/page > echo fetch() --> 0.38 secs/page > > But I think there is nothing to change in Smarty.
