Hi Stefan:

    Because I have approx 67 different 'Big' files available to send out to 
clients, and they are based on data that is usually not changing 'much' over 
the course of a year, I have decided to save a copy of the pre-built  big 
files *when* they are first requested.

    Then, the next time I have a request for one of the 67 (or so) big 
files, I've already got it built, and I simply read it in and then pass it 
to Apache for transmission to the client.

    Also, if I have occasion over the course of the year to update the 'big' 
file, then I manually delete the saved file, and my cgi app notices the 
missing file, rebuilds a new one, saves it, then sends the newly updated 
file to the client.

    I save about 1/4 of a second doing this :)))
