Hey Chris - That's surprising to me. I think that's the only example I've heard of that. What tools did you use to compare the performance under the ORM and without it? I've been researching making that comparison and I haven't come up with a good set of tools. I'd love to get some advice from you about this at some point. I'll keep an eye out for you on IRC. Thanks! -Andy _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
