NYCPHP Meetup

[Stephen Burge]

Hi Donna

I think the performance issue still applies without the navigation.

Building on Mitch's original point that "templates are the biggest 
source of pain IMHO", if you're interested in performance, Anthony's 
tool is really good for testing templates before you buy.

Regards

Steve
