I am pretty new to this apache configuring so forgive me if I ask something stupid I've done some reading about it and I just managed to edit .htaccess in a way to parse all of my .html pages to include several .php files ( I didn't want to rename those pages...) And it all works fine. Now, I'd like to include several files into my .html pages like header, footer, adsense, navigation files, random html etc... My question is, does the amount of includes have any impact on server processing speed? I mean, would including only one virtual include to a page make the page faster to load than including, lets say 10-15 of them? Thanks for tips! nervo
