Yeah, we're already doing quite a bit of this. We don't do it with cron, but we cache the long running results for 15min. That way at least the summary page appears to be quite responsive (most of the time). Excellent suggestion by the way - we are just trying to reduce this type of batching/caching to be more real-time and/or responsive. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
