Queries & templates question

[Aaron1]

Hi folks,

I was just curious what the concequentes are, when I remove from the showthread.php file the reference to un-used templates.

For example: I am not using the following templates in my postbit: postbit_useremail,icq,aim,yahoo. So when i remove these templates from the "$templatesused =" section from showthread.php, will it mean that the pages will load faster? Resulting in less queries? Will it be faster?

Best & thanks for replying!

kind of

As the templates are listed in the "$templatesused" variable, they are all called using one query, so you don't get any additional queries there.
What you do get is a query that's not as long, as it doesn't have to fetch as much.
It will probaly make a tiny difference.

Just don't forget it, if you ever do use those functions.

Thanks Colin, to test it, I removed the Templates (in showthread.php) just to see if it would make any difference. And ackwardly enough, i think it doesn't speed up at all. It feels like its slower. The queries remain indeed the same, but the microstats hack I use tells me the MYSQL server needs to work harder. Hmmm
