    Hi,

    does the size and of course the number (and complexity) of the functions/actions in the child theme functions.php file affect much the performance?
    Just wondering, since it seems like this is the correct way to customise genesis child themes.

    so I wonder about the server performance..

    thanks

    The size of a PHP file doesn't have nearly the effect on execution time as the quality of the code contained within. Plus, once you get over a couple of hundred lines, you should think about breaking it up with includes or some code design pattern.

    It's a bit difficult to provide some good suggestions without examples. If you'd like to provide some specific code blocks, we'd be happy to take a look.

    Thanks Aaron for responding.

    it was just a general question,
    but your answer does clear some worries 🙂 when I finally get around to customise a lot the theme using functions.php.. I may post the code here for inspection.

    thanks a lot
    Kris
