Finding out if the code and the server itself are are operating as efficiently as possible -prior to- mucking about with the network (this assumes a bit of thought and planning and maintenance have gone into the network beforehand, so that there're no glaring, generic things which ought to be fixed)? Knowing what your application(s) - or your customers' application(s) - look like on the wire can be an invaluable aid in the code-optimization process, in my experience. Of course, in a public environment, one's options are restricted by the limits of currently-deployed-and-accepted technology. ----------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <[email protected]> // 818.535.5024 voice
