[Matthew Terenzio]

Just read David Sklar's  "Essential PHP tools". It serves as a great 
reference for Pear DB, Auth,HTML_Quickform etc.. I don't even know him, 
so I'm not being biased.

But I was curious about people's feelings of Smarty. Do most think this 
extra processing is worth it? A conscientious job of keeping logic and 
presentation separate would accomplish this as well. Any feelings?

Also, any feelings about DB and whether there is a big performance hit? 
Also, does it work well with stored procedures and other RBDMS specific 
goodies?
