Leon,
I just ran your timing script and came up with these times:
0.51340400 970691026
0.99698000 970691033
0.83268900 970691038
Much slower than yours. Is your machine exceptionally fast, or is my
client's exceptionally slow?

::#2 will be faster, but the difference is very, very small. You
::should prove
::it to yourself by writing a small test script like this:
::
::<?
:: print(microtime() . "<br>");
:: for($i=0; $i<10000; $i++)
:: {
:: print("1");
:: print("2");
:: print("3<br>\n");
:: }
:: print(microtime() . "<br>");
:: for($i=0; $i<10000; $i++)
:: {
:: print("123<br>\n");
:: }
:: print(microtime() . "<br>");
::?>
::
::This gives me 0.88831700 970687237, 0.04122700 970687239, and 0.42651200
::970687240.
::So, the first version takes about 1.8 seconds. The second takes about 1.4
::seconds.
::(Check my math :)
::That's 10,000 lines of HTML. (Oh yeah...and I did this on a PHP 3 box).
::PHP 4
::should be even less of a difference. It would be insteresting to see what
::performance
::you're getting on your box.
