The plugin is *definitely* faster now -- noticeably faster, in my opinion.But unless your site has LOTS of hits, it may not make enough difference to worry about. The administration tasks are certainly a *lot* easier when using the cgi with SSL and non-SSL webstars in the same folder hierarchy, that's for sure, and the RAM requirements are less as well ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
