<p>For example. Is this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;p&gt;Hello welcome to my site&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your name is &lt;? echo $name; ?&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your age is &lt;? echo $age; ?&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your email address is &lt;? echo $email; ?&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Faster or slower than this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?
echo "&lt;p&gt;Hello welcome to my site&lt;/p&gt;";
echo "&lt;p&gt;Your name is " . $name . "!&lt;/p&gt;";
echo "&lt;p&gt;Your age is " . $age . "!&lt;/p&gt;";
echo "&lt;p&gt;Your email address is " . $email . "!&lt;/p&gt;";
?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>If the site is getting millions of page views...?</p>
