Exactly! The file is looked at "parsed" where with straight html the file is not
looked at "semantics".
If you are not getting many hits, then you may not see the difference! But, php
as well as ssi (server side includes) do include some overhead. S use "shtml"
and "php3" when you need to but don't make it global! You may grow up some day
where this will make a diff!
