And all this while webdna caching is =turned OFF in the admin interface. I KNOW others beside myself have =seen this. And I am not talking about a page that tries to use all 6GB =of RAM that is sitting idle/available... (or so one would reasonably =think).. but just code that pushes the limit just a little too far.Sound too fuzzy? Sure; it is hard to quantify, and describe, since I =can't see under the webdna engine hood to know exactly what is =happening.I tried to make my last post useful but just saying, effectively, "Hey, =in case your page never loads, and your webdna cache seems to be stuck =(for that page), then see if you are defining and calling a function =within another function."HTH-Govinda=
