It's running on a Sun E450 and there are almost no load at all on the server. So we can produce the pages direct from the database. But what we want is an even faster method, e.g. a memory cache. We are using the cache method on iPlanet and it works great. And now we are checking if it's possible to transfer this method to Apache/PHP. The reason way we can't change database is that we are sharing data between the different sites (iPlanet and Apache/PHP). And if we in the future would change database it would probably be to Oracle.
