I think that would not be big on Resources.
On off question, aren't all the variables in config.asp are loaded, even when all those are not used in pop_up windows or are They 
About the Timer:
Dim StopWatch(19)
19 can be set to 0 or 1 unless Timer is run and stopped inmore than one context.

| Why the timer script. Wouldn't it make more since just to record the current time at the beginning then subtracting that from the current time at the bottom? |

| It can be done. I believe that the reason it used functions was to determine the process time for several operations within the page. That is why the array StopWatch was dimensioned to 19 (Dim StopWatch(19). |

| I'm pretty sure it's just something that Gor found somewhere. It was included in v3.3 by mistake, was just supposed to be something for this site. |

Nice feature for us webmasters though.

| I use it to determine how much time is taken to build several portions of the page, especially when several queries are executing on a single page and how much time it takes to display the information retrieved for each recordset. |

No need for the Timer to be an array anyway, just make it a single variable, that way less memory will be allocated and therefore less used on those pages such as footer_short which don't use it.
It has been a great feature though for helping people with the "My forums slow" topics. |

Why not just include the stop timer code in inc_footer_short.asp too? It's only a small portion of code... If the start timer code gets put in config.asp and you worry about the pop-ups, then that would be a solution.
On all pop-ups I've seen, there was enough space for an extra line of text at the bottom. It doesn't even have to be shown, 'cause as you said, nobody cares about the creation time of the pop-up windows. |
