Hi - Thanks for your reply. When the page is finally rendered, as a test I save it on my desktop and then open it and it takes but a few seconds for the full page to build, so I'm fairly sure a script (index.cgi) would do fine. I've created a crude shell script to build the page and not only is it much quicker, but system resources don't get clogged up. I will look inbto your suggestion, however.

Suddenly we have directories with as many as 15,000 files Most of the settings look ok as per Apache web page (even turned off FancyIndexing - to no avail) Q: is creating a script to build the page the only way around this? Q: Any scripts laying around? Working on one now :) Obviously it will take mod_autoindex a while to build a webpage with 15,000 lines... But it will also take your browser quite a while to render it. You might try fetching the page to a file with wget or curl (thus eliminating the browser rendering time) so you can see where the real bottleneck is. It could be it's mainly rendering time in which case speeding up apache or pre-building the page won't make any difference. You might also wonder if a webpage with 15,000 lines is of any use to the user (how do they read all that stuff?) - but, hey, what do I know...
