database-content slowing down the page?

[phlow]

At the moment I'm coding a website in which the content comes from a MySQL database. I use "eval()" to include the code into the page.
Is this a good way to create a page or is it bad for the performance/speed of the page? Would it be much faster to put the content in files and use "include()" to put them into the site?

Thanx for your support, Phlow.

I don't know about the eval but just doing a standard query and echo or print to the page should be fine. In most cases the dial up browser will be your bigger problem.
