Hello all,
I'm trying to make a minimum bandwidth HTML 4.01 theme and I've found some interesting Smarty functions and modifiers: strip(), strip and regex_replace. With these, it's possible to remove images, "/>"s and extra spaces/line-breaks/tabs in html:

Together with very little CSS, no xoops.js, footer or header, this can bring some bandwidth saving, but I'm worried that those functions might be CPU intensive . And here's my pledge: could you nice XOOPS people test this theme for loadtimes and CPU stress?

Here's our suspect, known as OldTimes theme.

I'm already setting my own tests up, but a single PIII with 128MB of RAM is hardly a fair sample...

It has some kind of glitch with custom blocks, but you can see it working here. Looks a tad better than default for CSS-less browsers, still have to check it with Lynx.
