That gets a distinctly suboptimal result. If you're using a bunch of JavaScript on many pages, that JavaScript should be downloaded and cached once, unless no two pages use the same code at all. > If bandwidth is your issue, seems like a huge waste of time > for such a small problem anyhow considering that all of these > resources can be loaded once at 'runtime'... Though as brad > mentioned, if the issue isn't bandwidth but cpu and memory > overhead... Fewer functions means less overhead. Bandwidth is not the issue. Downloading takes time and negatively affects performance. I don't know enough about how browsers interpret JavaScript to be sure that fewer functions means less overhead. Of course, fewer functions means less download time, but there are things you can do about that: http://betterexplained.com/articles/speed-up-your-javascript-load-time/ Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.
