I've seen warnings online about how a too-big .htaccess can slow down a site
but that it depends on the size of the site.

But what is a big site and what is a big .htacess file?

I'm wondering because my biggest web site <http://www.tacanow.org> has an
accompanying annual guide which is nearly 400 pages and increasingly is one
big link farm in print. So I was thinking about doing numbered links like
you see in Macworld (example: macworld.com/1234). There are multiple links
on every printed page, so this would be thousands of links. It offers the
advantage of updating links to external sources if/when they break.

If it won't slow down the site too much, then I would do tacanow.org/1234.
But if it is a significant slow down, I could create another domain just for
links.

What is your experience with heavy-duty .htaccess?

TIA, Lynne
