I think a lot of sites are unnecessarily dynamic these days - news sites that serve up stories from a database, wikis that do the same, etc. And anytime you are using a database table just to map one key to one value, the same thing could be more efficiently done in the filesystem, especially nowadays when filesystem optimization is getting some attention. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
