Hi Alan, Was the select class defined before you loaded the object from cache?

The timezone list itself is stored in an array that currently contains 437 items. I then add the timezone array using the addMultiOptions() message. Unfortunately, this causes noticable slowness when loading the page. I added some timing code and the page load went from 0.8 seconds to 1.6 seconds. Removing the timezone Select element dropped the page load time to normal levels (ie, 0.02, 0.03, etc). I had a play about with Zend_Cache to see if I could cache just the Select element (the rest of the page is very dynamic else I'd just cache the whole page) but didn't have much sucess. Zend_Cache_Core didn't seem to serialize the Select object correctly so I ended up with an error in the View about an incomplete object. I also tried Zend_Cache_Class but whilst that just didn't display the Select element (no errors). So at this point, I'm out of ideas. Anyone got any ideas to help speed up my form without manually coding the HTML for the timezone Select element into my View? :) Thanks, Al.
