Hey vroom, everybody {wave}

What do you guys think about changing all the links that pm generates from '/index.pl?node...' to just '/?node...'?

Seeing how the monastery is getting more and more hits everyday, it should increase performance.

Think about it: that's 8*n(number of links) characters less it has to spit out everytime.

Yeah yeah, i know what the skeptics are saying, it ain't that much, it's only 0.09 CPU cycles or something, but as the monastery grows, it becomes more and more significant.

Ok, this will decrease the #chars served, but will it slow down the server any cause it has to figure out is it index.html or index.cgi or index.pl or something?

I don't think so, but what do i know;-)

P.S.
I don't think this has been discussed before cause i couldn't find anything, not even with SuperSearch, but if it has, please point /me to it.
