It matters. I believe that if MORE > people thought this way, then there would be less bloated software. In general and in principle, all true of course. I just can't help smiling when people are using an interpreted language, yet they talk really seriously about performance and optimization :-) Still, your thinking is good. > (nice domain name btw. :) ) Thanks - it's not mine though, belongs to the IEEE. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
