Share or clone code.
Hello all.
I am new to the forums so a big hello is in order.
HELLO.
I have a quick question.
Imagine you have two websites which run on identical code.
Is it more efficient to get both site's to share the same code base, or should each site have its own repository of code. I am trying to weigh this up and maybe you all could shed some light.
My concern is the performance drops under heavy loads.
I have a feeling it wont make a difference but i am unsure. All your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I am currently developing a series of sites (a network, if you will) for a league. I am hosting their entire network on a dedicated server and as a result, the entire network is using a single codebase. The nice thing is that maintenance keeps everything in one place, and if they ever bail, I can copy the codebase and hand it over to them. Portable coding makes it a drop in place type of app that they upload to another server, set the database up, change a param and be up and running in no time.
