OK, you intentionally left out mysql_unbuffered_query() from the list. What about some general collection of "not that assembler type" performance tips, like: - when to use unbuffered queries - when to use str functions instead of regs - when to use built in functions and external programs - performance issues of abstraction layers, etc. I am thinking of some detailed explanations, and not just stating "do not do this, but do that", as every solution is better in some respect.
