Hello!

Based on the idea of Goba, i did some measurement on user notes.

Goba's idea is:
We can save resources if we pregenerate formatted notes,
and stores that content instead the raw notes. At this
time every note requires a preg_replace, and a highlight_php()
filter. If we move clean_note() from phpweb to rsync.php.net's
update-user-notes, we can store pregenerated notes.

Bat these savings comes with user notes size growing.
I made a little script to demonstrate this size difference.
It can be checked at: http://phphost.hu/notes/

At this time, modified notes requires about 85% more diskspace
(~6.5 MB). This size difference can be increase if more
notes gets colorized.

So, the question is: what is better...

 - Leave everything uncanged, and let PHP to do modifications
   (preg_replace, highlighting) on the fly.
 - Change update-user-notes to send pregenerated notes to
   mirrors, and save processor resources on all the
   phpweb mirrors.

Is anyone against that modification?

Cece
