ok, i run http://mysmilies.com, it's a smiley site, basically an archive of a butt-load of little gifs...
i display them by doing this:
1.) see if the banner files are made, if not, make them
2.) see if the header and footer are made, if not make them (the header and footer have the top and bottom banners ssi'd in)
3.) see if the main page is made, if not, make it (header and footer are ssi'd in as well)
4.) virtual the main page
so a page would be something like this:
{include header {include top banner} }
main page stuff
{include footer {include bottom banner} }
5 files in all...
now, would it be faster (server wise) if i just did it by doing nothing but virtuals?
