Avoid premature optimization, design for performance insteadWell said, Shawn.For a slightly less heated take on the topic, I recommend two wiki topics at c2.com:http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?PrematureOptimizationhttp://c2.com/cgi/wiki?DesignForPerformanceAs my first year computer science professor said, detailed optimizations are often "penny wise and pound foolish". There's no point in focusing on looping syntax to gain 5 ms in performance, if you fail to consider your network communication strategy and waste 2 s in extra round trips.yours,Don Kirkby
