.htaccess or symbolic link (symlink)


I have a website with multiple folders and I was trying to fix them in my .htaccess. After a little while, I have a big .htaccess with rules that conflicts.



Now every time I want to add a folder I have to add it to the .htaccess.



I did some research and I found out I can create symbolic link instead, so no more .htaccess



In both solution I have to create or modify something so for me its the same result at the end but is it a better practice to create instead symbolic link ?

  1. use symblink, .htaccess has to be proccesed by apache whereas the symblink are proccess by the OS which is faster.

    creating 100 rules vs 100 symblink, if the rule you looking for is at the last you will have to parse all of them then use the one you need.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
