CroNIX, the benefit of adding the first conditional in addition to the file/directory ones is that you can exclude entire directories from ever routing to CodeIgniter (and prevent unnecessary overhead) in the first place. If there's a request for a non-existent file in my assets directory, for example, the file/dir conditionals will not fire because it doesn't exist. If I know that my assets directory will only have static assets, I never need it to go to CI.
