Was my exact thought. I guess with some mod_rewrite logic this can be boosted way better that executing the script each time.
But executing it locally (without apache) and measuring time for a very simple test.haml file gave me the about 17s for the first hit, and 0.03sec for following attempts. So its pretty speedy for a CGI wrapper. *just use the time command in unix* - evgeny On 7/30/07, Sean Cribbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Awesome!
