Glad you asked this question as I have a client with 94,979 customers and while I had long, long ago turned off the one part ... I forgot that last part I gave you ...

I peeked in there to see that I had done that change for him and yes it was done ... but not "as fast" as I wanted it ... then I saw I forgot to comment that last piece of code ...

Much much better now ...

Granted he is on a fast server so wasn't suffering horribly but it was still a 2-4 seconds more than it needed to be and now the page pops open nicely ...
