FW: [WEB400] Serious speed issues...

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ooops... it was so late last night I didn't pay attention to where this was
going... I meant to send it out to the list.  Thanks to everyone who
responded, it really shows how cool this list is!

Thanks Nathan,

Seeing that page size was the key.  The page size was simply way too big for
these simple pages and when I looked at the HTML source the spacing and
everything was seriously out of whack but I couldn't figure out why... until
I sat bolt upright from a dead sleep at 1AM knowing exactly what the problem
was.

Remember from my original post there were two things I did: the apache thing
and the QzhbCgi thing.

Well, I was messing with Brad Stone's new e-RPG(v2) book (must have, by the
way) and he had a great idea to put the NewLine character in the WrStout
wrapper, so while I was making the change over (so I could play with
CgiParse) I rewrote my WrStout sub-procedure.  When I did I missed one tiny
little step in setting the size of the Data Length parameter.

I had:
  WrtDtaLen = %len( WrtDta );

When I should have had:
  WrtDtaLen = %len( %trim( WrtDta ) );

Everytime I wrote to Standard Out I was writing 1024 characters, most of
which were blank!  That means super huge HTML files and super long
downloads.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!  Well, my sore foot and I are
going to bed since it's 2AM.

Thanks to everyone who responded, wouldn't you know it had to be something
silly?

That's weird.  Both links generate a 185KB page, mostly blank.  They
look
fine in the browser, but a page that size takes a long time to download.
