Re: huge PHP file, hardcore processing

IIS ISAPI(PHP4.0.4pl1 and PHP4.0.5RC1) does not work well for me and too many problems. So I switched to Apache. However, ob_implicit_flush() seems slows things down on W2K/Apache/PHP4.0.4RC1 also. (ob_implicit_flush() may slow things down, but it's more apparent than my Linux/Apache box) You may get better result on UNIX/Apache. Someone mentioned he/she does not have any problem with W2K/IIS ISAPI/PHP4.0.3pl1 with more than 250,000 hits/day. You may want to down grade your PHP to 4.0.3pl1.
