I agree. If that is the case, it would probably be better to use several
smaller string variables to concatenate portions of the script and then
concatenate those variables at the very end.

You could also do this on start up of the application using the global.asa
file. That way, you wouldn't have to burdon one user per reboot with the
original rendering time.
