At 31:3 ratio, it's almost for sure NOT the fault of 3-tier architecture nor the OR-mapper. Or, if it is, it's because you've chosen a HORRIBLE 3-tier architecture or a RIDICULOUS OR-mapper. My *first* *first* *first* SWAG is that you've got something very very very hinky in the mysql_connect, not using local sockets. Only on Windows, that means you haven't tweaked some goofy setting somewhere, rather than something as simple as not using 'localhost' for the mysql_connect. I saw something like this on a thread the other day on PHP-General, actually... Or maybe it was on internals@php.net??? At the risk of repeating myself: Optimization without analyzation is just code masturbation. PROFILE YOUR PHP APP and find out *why* it's slow, or don't bother testing, and certainly don't "publish" your results, nor tout them as a valid reason for choosing one over the other. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
