I'd say it should use more RAM, not less. Speed increases rarely mean memory footprint decreases. > For example, I use SquirrellMail for webmail.

I used to increase this to 16MB, but of late was forced to make it 20MB - after which I have had no complaints. In your php.ini file you will want to change or add a "memory_limit" line to look something like: memory_limit = 20M Your magic number for a memory limit may vary, or you may want to remove the memory limit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- __o Bradley Arlt Security Team Lead _ \<_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] University Of Calgary (_)/(_) Las hojas de coca no es droga.
