Bandwidth vs. Computing
When PHP takes long to perform actions, does that use up bandwidth? I'm writing an "on-the-fly" *.ico conversion and want to know if it's a good idea to utilize it, or just to share it.
Re: Bandwidth vs. Computing
Computing doesn't necessarily produce net traffic. As long as there's no output there's no net traffic.

Yeah, I've already set up the class to save the icons after they've been processed so the first time it's created will take time, but any time after that will just load the file.Ambush Commander wrote:You should cache the icon, because it's probably going to be one of the most called items on your website.
