RE: [PHP] a passion to perform ;)

I still stick with the old rule: If it takes more then 2 seconds to load anything, 5 seconds to do a complete page with lots of images on dial-up then you have to go back to the drawing board. 2-5 seconds has always been your window to get a page to load and keep the visitor. On top of that stay away from flash/shockwave and you are ahead of the game. My $.02 Robert -----Original Message----- From: Matthias H.

I am not talking about precompiled scripts (ioncube, zend, ..) Basically I am trying to find out how good a standard HTML rendering PHP-Applications usually performs? Furthermore I wonder of there are any usability papers/studies regarding this topic? (how long is long for a user? how long is a user on broadband usually expectin a page to load without thinking "damn. why does this take so long?") Maybe anyone knows of a good free performace and memory profiler? Yours, Matthias -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
