I usually tackle this problem by checking the box labelled "aggregate and compress CSS files". It's under "Admin" => "Performance" => "Bandwidth Optimizations" in Drupal 5. In Drupal 6 you can do the same for JS files too.

I think the people who made that claim were mistaken. As Kent pointed out, Drupal 5 core has no classes. Drupal 6 core has exactly one (an XML parser used in the update module - shock! horror! a class in Drupal core!). There are a lot of high-performance resources available for Drupal, but few of them will tell you to start by hacking the core Drupal codebase. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
