Hello Kevin,
KB> I do not think you have done much performace testing of XML in e loaded KB> server environment. Actually, Pete is the guy on this list that probably has the MOST experience with loading and parsing files. Our 4MB sniffer rule base loads and parses a message in less than 250ms . And that's not even the persistent version that pre-loads the rule base and saves it in memory. KB> The loading of the config files from disk is minimal they should be cached KB> due to the high frequecy of use. So 1 config file or 10 should not make much KB> difference. It's not the difference between 1 and 10, it's the difference between 1 and 10,000. -- Best regards, David mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
