Michael,

That sounds pretty definitive to me -- and I'll accept it
becuase I like the conclusion.  ;-)  

What you say is precisely what I've been doing and SSI is indeed
useful for including various kinds of boilerplate -- and only
having to update those files in one place.  but I've been
feeling kinda guilty about it, thinking I was slowing down the
whole site by using such includes.

So I guess it must be the Java!  ;-)

this thread has been hugely useful.  many thanks to John R.

for starting it.  

best
