Good feedback Mark. Having been one that's built all CFM-based sites (yes every page uses CF), I've often wondered about how others approach the header/footer situation where these files not only need to be included to provide, say, a consistent navigation but also contain dynamic info. An

No, i dont accept that at all. As i said, Neil, it depends on your site's audience. For another example - if your site is directed at Australian rural community then you are pushing it to expect even 56kb users. there are huge areas where they simply dont get even that speed. There will be
