First, ATL3 is a superior script. As for MySQL, if you're using it on a dedicated server and in a low traffic environment it might be ok. On a shared server it's a terrible idea. Not only is it inconsiderate to the other people on that MySQL server but you also have issues with the reliability of the MySQL server itself. How often do you see the MySQL server down in a shared environment? Do you really want your site to be down every time an overworked MySQL server chokes?
