Speaking of cgi scripts - be sure to use the C based one for this, the perl based reference is quite a bit more cpu intensive. The cgi component really adds up in the cpu time, but then again, I think that was part of the point. The assumption was that a busy site would do certain things in the fastest way possible (ie mod_specweb) but that some things would continue to be done the hard way (basic cgi). If anyone does not have a copy of the C program you can get it from me or from the specweb archives (part of the submittals). Dave
