RE: [PHP] Why does it take so long?

I do the majority of my site development on a combination of Athlon 800 w/Win2k for graphics, and a P-133 w/16 megs of RAM running Slackware Linux (gulp!)... The Linux box performance with PHP is actually decent-- EXCEPT when doing database queries locally. I tried running queries on Mysql locally (on the P-133 linux box) and it was SLOW as heck. So, I simply installed Mysql for Win32 on my Win2k machine, and now pages (even with database queries) run at a tolerable speed. So, based on my experience, the database (isn't ODBC much slower than using the mysql lib on top of that?) is the biggest bottleneck for an underpowered machine. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: mati [mailto:mati@host.sk] Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2001 10:52 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Why does it take so long? I use PHP 4 + Apache + Win95 + MS Access (ODBC), and my scripts generate very long (10-15s with 15 records from DB - on localhost). Why is it so? I have slow computer (166MHz, 32MB RAM), is it the main problem? Or is there also a problem with ODBC (Access) or Win? Which is the main reason?
