[pLog-svn] The use of constants

[Tsz Ming WONG]

I have just run a simple xdebug profiling on the LT blog index (1.2.1)

Function, Total Self, Total Cum, Calls

php::define, 1.9ms, 1.9ms, 300
lt_include, 270ms, 805ms, 134


in fact, not that slow as you mentioned...do you have any figures?


best regards,
tszming
