Agree completely, that's the case in a nutshell. > There's no doubt you will gain performance moving to C, but, if > properly designed, you have a performance that is acceptable, then why > go to that level? That's a different issue - whether you chose to write a script or a program, is all about intended use, speed of development, expected lifetime, maintainability, ease of development etc etc. If the OPs script was only meant to run once or twice a year, it probably wouldn't matter if it ran or month or two. Personally, I rewrite in C when my PHP (or other script language) script exceeds a thousand lines. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
