any difference asp?

between server.execute and include files

[click watcher]

wondering if there's a time difference between using server side includes or server.execute method to include a file.

or if server.execute puts more strain on the server (given a very busy site)

thanks

I couldn't find any figures one way or the other.

It looks like server.execute could be used to minimise server load though - as it's processed by the asp engine rather than the server, you can do conditional includes ie only include the extra file if it's actually needed. With SSI it's all or nothing.

thanks for you time sugarkane,

info like this is so difficult to research, theres so much info about techniques and such like, but so little about how much the server is actually taxed by the process and so forth

from everything I've read you SSI is going the tax server resources more than server.execute. I remember hearing a list of drawbacks for SSI and resources was one of them.
