10 - 20 on a typical site, damn, I've only ever used 2 :OP Ade
-----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 08 October 2002 13:45 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: overhead for large UDF libraries? I've seen a CFMX box include 600 UDFS. The first hit was.... um... icky. The second hit was as if nothing at all was being included. That being said... Yes, if you cfinclude ANYTHING, you slow the page down. However, what you want to know is if it will have a _significant_ impact. In my opinion, under most circumstances, the answer is no. I would not cfinclude 600 UDFs of course, but on a typical site that uses maybe 10-20 UDFs, I wouldn't think twice about it. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Gyrus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 7:55 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: overhead for large UDF libraries? > > > I'm curious (again!).
