Actually it will... Since all loaded functions exist in one of two hash tables, the smaller these hash tables the better they fit in cache. If you don't use functions (or only use a couple, and only load them), then you're going to have a lot more cache hits... so it'll be a bit faster. -- Stewart Smith ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.flamingspork.com/
