Again, the only reason i raised this question it's because i was alarmed by what the wiki page about reflection snippets says:
"works perfectly for development / low volume deployment, however when your site starts to scale this method of snippet modeling may become undesirable." All i would like is some clarification if this statement is in fact true, if not i will go on with my project happily using reflection snippets. If it is true i then would be looking for a better alternative. On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 06:56, Naftoli Gugenheim <[email protected]>wrote: > Besides, would it even help?
