CFINCLUDE is faster than CFMODULE or custom tags, because CFINCLUDE runs in the same memory space as the calling page. Before you start making every page include the same 20 includes, however, I'd see if I could make my pages a little more modular. If every page has the same 20 snippets, then I almost guarentee that you can abstract those down in the a far smaller number of snippets by joining some of them together.
You might also look into some 'page assembly framework' to help you out. Fusebox 3 is one (plus a whole lot more), although i'm sure there are more layout-centric options out there. Bottom line, the more work you can do up front to ease later modificaions, the better off you'll be. barneyb > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 10:56 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Includes Vs Tags - help? > > > Hello list - > While developing this page - I have a ton of conditional tiny snippets > which I started putting in includes.
