hmmm, for a typical page I need between 50 and 1000 hash lookups. And
sometimes more and sometimes fewer. But I'll make some tests: if this is
fast enough, it seems to be a very good solution The best would be *real*
threads with really shared variables, but this is another topic ;-)

OK -- first I'll do some benchmarks to test if it might work.
I think it would be the easyest and best way to do it, if fast enough!


Thanks && Ciao
