WebCatalog does a quick check for and if not found, it doesn't even attempt to execute WebDNA in the page -- it just hands it off to WebSTAR.So if you had no caching abilities on your site before, then WebCatalog actually speeds up your site quite a bit.My unofficial tests using [ElapsedTime] at the top and bottom of pages indicates it takes 1/100 of a second to perform a username/password lookup on a 10,000 record database using [lookup]. [protect] is somewhat slower because it does a lookup based on group names, so it's more complex. The cool thing here compared to WebSTAR's realms is that there is no overhead on a page unless you specifically tell it to be protected. Realms force WebSTAR to authenticate every single URL that comes thru.ClubMac runs a LOT more pages than 10,000/day (I'm not allowed to say exactly how many), and all those pages are run through WebCatalog CGI...plugin would probably be faster, but we're still wrestling with SSL vs non-SSL plugins synchronization.I often see 10 requests go out in a single second on ClubMac.
