AFAICS no. I'm not saying we should go with a static only host, I'm saying we shouldn't make dynamic that which doesn't need to be, on grounds of CPU cost (which determines responsiveness in practice). Modern systems (even apache 2 to a reasonable degree) can serve static content ridiculously fast, that's not true of dynamic content. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
