do Include menu's re-load?

[Kirl]

I am wondering if a navagation menu, that is included on every page with an include() function, actually re-loads?

If I have quite a heavy image menu for example is the load reduced by using include() (when switching pages), or is it mostly just handy for easy adjustments on multiple pages etc?

I don't think it would reduce any loadtime. What you can do to reduce the loadtime is put a cache-all in the meta tags.
