would it affect the load time of a script if you have the script recall itself over and over to load a series of form pages? would it load faster if the pages where seperate cgi scripts?

I would guess it makes no difference. Perhaps the server has some
sort of cache? Maybe someone will answer that ...
I know you're better off calling the script over again instead of creating
a loop within the script. You would get a script timeout with a loop.
Your method would, at worst, create a bandwidth problem with your webhost.
It would depend on how many executes you have within any given time.

i put it to the test, it didn't seem to load any slower either way.
thanks for your input.
