After complaints that my CGI takes too long, I traced it down to the
redirect() function.
Why does it take so long?
Is there an alternative?

A common mistake is to print a header and then do a redirect, which slows
the process down because essentially you have a script and a page competing

print $q->he

being printed to
the browser. So this is not what I have been doing.

Once you post the info, the script is processing
it and doing the redirect, but I don't think it is
posting the entire string of nv pairs agai
