I haven't run this kind of test recently, because the sites I work on mostly are complex enough (typically intranet rather than internet) that performance constraints are in the business application rather than the web layer. But I also observed this sort of thing back in the days of Apache 2.0.x, and so your numbers don't particularly surprise me. The Zend optimizer in PHP is pretty smart, in my experience. I'm sorry not to add any more depth of understanding beyond a simple, "No, you're not crazy," but as I said the raw speed of an include was never an issue for my largely database-constrained apps, so although I observed these kind of results I never needed to dig deeper. Our test was run on a lark, not due to actual need. Scott -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott D.
