- If you were really concerned about speed and portability you wouldn't be using mIRC scripting to write a web server. A speed difference between a well coded DLL and calling an internal GZip identifier would be negligable. mIRC scripting itself would be the major limiting factor under 'intensive use'. I don't see why interacting with other applications is a good thing when those applications and the method of interaction are completely detached from IRC.
I agree with you that mirc scripting isn't the right language to write a web server, but you know how guys like me and oracel are, we are always trying to make almost impossible stuff with mirc.
About the negligible time you say that there is in the use of dlls, i can only say that i manage to script (in mirc) the functionality of a dll (mhtml dll) and it became much faster. It is one example.
Seems that the dll call is very slow, even with the dll in memory.
Thanks again
