First of all, VB is precompiled and PHP is not. This will already be slower. So, you gonna need to create a logic that loads only the necessary classes for every request.

So, make sure that *only* the required classes are loaded on each execution. -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
