That's a very *good* thing. How often do you really need to read and generate everything from the database? It's absolutely inefficient for the vast majority of use cases, especially for small sites, shared hosting, etc. Wordpress just follows the basic beginner coders concept that everything should be dynamic because we can, without thought, because that's "the way it's done". There are patches/plugins for WP that try to use some of this, since larger sites have learned the necessity of caching, delayed writes, and static content, among other performance concepts. *IF* you have one of the cases that might actually need totally dynamic, or even partially dynamic generation, MT does support that *also*. -- Jayce^ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
