Yes, it's quite possible. SRM (www.vl-srm.net) has the concept of a 'function library' (http://www.vl-srm.net/doc/features.remote-functions.php) which is loaded when the deamon is started. But there is one big problem with this approach which makes it not much faster: you need some sort of synchronisation between the thread that runs the function library and the rest of your code. regards, Derick --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did I help you? http://www.jdimedia.nl/derick/link.php?url=giftlist Frequent ranting: http://www.jdimedia.nl/derick/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHP: Scripting the Web - [EMAIL PROTECTED] All your branches are belong to me!
