I can only tell you my experience. Running on my development system (NT 4
workstation and SP3 using WebObjects' web server instead of IIS and
accessing a Paradox database via ODBC (Paradox is similar to Access - no
database server) and using nested reusable components, I do not notice any
real difference. Obviously, the smaller the web page, the quicker the page
loads but I don't feel like WO is slowing down as it builds the reusable
components. I use a reusable navigation header that contains my own reusable
ActiveImage component so every page has a reusable component inside a
reusable component. Plus, my ActiveImage component appears about eight times
in the header :o. The advantages of reusable components far outweigh the
disadvantages.
