I guess, but that "extra hardware" wouldn't be that much. I was talking about like 1 second extra CPU time per 50 page loads or something — I wouldn't worry about that kind of thing, even if I had time to make my code slightly faster, I'm sure I could spend my time better. Maybe I'd refactor it later on when I'm adding extra functionality to that area of code. I think if your a small company you shouldn't be worrying about small issues like this, even if you have more time than money. It may be making your app more efficient, but your doing it the same way people make apps bulky and never get them out the door! Spend the time on things which truly matter, and fix slightly slower code when its beginning to cause a problem. :)
