texte = I recently changed a project over to send user and password information via a cart's header fields. Well, it's made my life so much easier, I've been adding a lot of information to the generic (header1 - header40) fields as well. I'm wondering if frequently setting, resetting and accessing these cart header fields will cause a big performance hit. Do each of these calls read/write to the hard drive, or are carts cached in memory at all? They're so convenient, like a global variable system (that accepts text!) but I hope that I'm not getting myself into trouble by becoming increasingly dependent upon them.Rob Marquardt Designer/Resident Wirehead Toast Design300 First Avenue North, Suite 150 Minneapolis MN 55401 612.330.9863 v 612.321.9424 f www.toastdesign.com
