I respectfully submit that this is not necessarily true. There is no clear reason I can think of that an XML file configuration would need to load any more slowly than the current configuration files. In fact, I suspect that the structured nature of the file would most probably improve the load speed if the parser were coded properly. This has almost always been my experience when converting applications from complex flat-file configs to xml configs. Consider also that it is likely an XML based configuration would reduce the number of files required for a given system. - searching for files takes time too. _M --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
