Hi all, I have been looking at my logs as I am testing radiant and have noticed that the CSS files seem to take longer to generate than the HTML files. Am I doing something wrong? Here is a snippet from my logs, you can see that the css file is taking 5 times longer to generate than the page that is calling it.

How do you have your site set up? Are you just using the styled-blog layout? Although, the difference between 0.005s and 0.02s, although several times bigger, isn’t very much 🙂 Bodhi ---

Do you have a filter defined on the CSS page? Maybe Textile is spending lots of time parsing braces it doesn’t need to parse… Jay ---

Hi again, Thanks for the suggestion, I have checked and I don’t have a filter on the CSS page. Bodhi, I take your point that the difference isn’t that much, but as it is a file that is cached it should be pretty quick. I’m wondering if I am doing something wrong? Regards Nathan
