Fastest way:
1. don't use array lookups, they're slower than using local variables in a
function.
2. Create a string with the all the text you're going to print, then print
that string.
3. Hash/Array indexes should ALWAYS be enclosed in quotes unless they're
numerical indexes or constants. Why? because the current behaviour may go
away in the future..
4. There's conflicting evidence that using ' is faster than " but that's not
always true. It is faster to print "<td>".$var."</td>" than "<td>$var</td>"
but the first method could be as fast as '<td>'.$var.'</td>' (see
php.weblogs.com for a benchmark site posted some months ago)
