Corrected the use of View class instance.

It looks like the way you where coding it was to be used as a Singleton.
In Controller::render() I am setting all View() attributed by pass reference.
I do not think it will effect other parts of the system.

You can see why I did this by uncommenting the print_r function in View::render().
Reload url in browser.
Then in Controller::render() remove the & from:
$view->autoRender =& $this->autoRender;
This is the only one that seems to cause array to print.

This may also caused in the Router::connect().
Look at this if you get time.
I noticed that each setting in the conf/routes.php file calls outer::connect();
Tee profiler show this happening 6 times on current install from trunk
Router::parse() is called 2 times.


We really need to get some good unit test in place.

Also speeded things up a little.

Profiler test:

Before changes on default install from trunk

Between:
Total Request Time: 13013.4 Milliseconds
Total Request Time: 13065.84 Milliseconds
28 files

After changes
Between:
Total Request Time: 10230.99 Milliseconds
Total Request Time: 10511.59 Milliseconds
27 files
