I probably should not guess any further. :) I'll recommend to use profiling to determine the cause(s) of your performance degradation. :) I just happened to be aware (having made the changes myself) of a not-so-fast Zend_Loader implementation pursuant to: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-2463 This implementation made it into 1.5.0 PR before I could change it, but the latest SVN version of it does not have the error handling functions about which I was concerned. Instead, errors in included files will simply be handled in the normal PHP way. :) >> Finally, I would recommend that Zend_Loader be eschewed, in favor of >> using require_once, whenever possible.

That's fine. I was really more concerned about the version that came with 1.5.0 PR than the version from 1.0.3 or the version that will be in 1.5.0 RC1. Best regards, Darby
