I am trying to optimize our load times at the moment. I measured this at 4KB and not 3KB (not a huge difference). An SVG icon I have weighs in at 1.3KB. This would also be a single load, and just one. I'm not sure I'll actually go through with a change, but I am considering it. I'll do some of the other improvements first, but what do you think of this change, Adam? -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
