*installed* Simple installation and great results.

I already had VB3 MicroStats installed so I added the code BEFORE:

$pageendtime = microtime();

Results:

As you can see there's not a lot of difference in the speed that the pages are generated but there is a significant reduction in average server load.

I have a broadband connection and the increased download speed is only marginally apparent. According to Speedar my connection speed is approx. 104.2 kilobytes/sec.

I also did a gzip test which produced the following result for my homepage:
