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

I think the issue is that "the most efficient option" is really something that only the application designer / site manager can decide, and that only with some patience and trial and error. I don't think there is a magic setting that is the most efficient in all cases. Therefore, a conservative approach is nice--default to the fastest/best options that won't cause extra overhead on the majority of systems. Most systems are probably employing techniques that obviate the need for automatic OB. I like Tom's suggestion of providing more reference material to those trying to optimize Smarty's performance. But you do have a good point: out-of-the-box, Smarty should try to be as fast as possible--as long as it doesn't become a resource hog to do it, that is. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
