Labert, what?

NetRodent, cool i'll try that. When the script in question is only going to output a redirect (one line of text), then 'turning off' the buffer should not be a problem. Damn, I never knew there was a buffer, this is why I was confused by the waiting.

mik503, I do batch processing. I'm creating a tracker which logs raw data and it gets processed every update of the site. However, sending hits out and tracking hits in has to be accomplished in real time. The only calculations are updates to these real-time tables that stores url info, hits in, hits out, clicks produced, and where every IP has gone so I don't send it back to the same place twice. The calculations should be quick, but some of these are calculations that can be performed AFTER the destination is known (for permanent links). For blind links, the calcuations have to be performed beforehand.

Armed & Hammered, I thought of performing a fork too, but NetRodent's idea is the best solution I think.

Thanks all.
