Hi!
Thanks for the great component! I wonder if the CB developers intend to optimize the code in the coming versions by for example setting the output to the output variable and then echo-ing only once. For example:
[code:1]
$output = "bla bla";
$output .="more more";
$output .="even more";
echo $output;
[/code:1]
Cheers

Just out of curiosity: What would this optimize and what would the impact be?

Not sure what the impact is, but I stumbled over this:

phplens.com/lens/php-book/optimizing-debugging-php.php

The second issue is that in PHP 4, echoing multiple times is slower than storing everything in a string and echoing it in one call. This is because echo is an expensive operation that could involve sending TCP/IP packets to a HTTP client. Of course accumulating the string in $s has some scalability issues as it will use up more memory, so you can see a trade-off is involved here.

Thanks for the answers !!!
I haven't done any benchmarking on Community builder but I've noticed that other Joomla components use to be written in this style . Anyway, interesting question.
Cheers and thanks once again!!!
