Having Speed Issues with <if> statement

[Snake~eyes]

I am trying to run some things in my template based on the page it is on.

I have been using <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">

I have one for index, showthread and forumdisplay. In both the header and the footer(2x3 for a total of 6), this slows down the loading of the page TREMENDOUSLY. Is there any other faster way to do this? Please let me know.

Using conditionals shouldn't slow down your forum, especially if it's just comparison.

Well its not any other conditionals, just these specifically. It is slowing it down dramatically, probably 2-3 seconds if not more. I have tested it several times with and without these, the other conditionals seem to be fine. Any suggestions?

Those are really simple conditions - there are probably thousands if not more that run in the vB. code on every page load. 2 more does nothing.
