Just for fun, throw an Ubuntu disk in the box, and time your PHP scripts without Windows being in the way -- That will give you a baseline for YOUR hardware, independent of the webhosting hardware. Did you install Apache with PHP as a CGI (rather than Module)? If so, php.exe has to start up, in its own process/thread/whatever, for each page hit. This can add significant time, I believe. You can check using <?php phpinfo();?> in a script and seeing if your SAPI is "CGI" or "Module" There are also a zillion things in Windows that could be running, many of which are real dogs. What does your process list show? (control-alt-del will get you to it) Presumably there are general process profiling tools on Windows, akin to valgrind/callgrind on Linux. Find one, and see if it can shed any light on the matter. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
