It should be indeed, sadly isn't taken in mind many times. I know some classes in PEAR that can't handle big volumes of data or users, and apart for being useless in some cases, throws over the whole PEAR the sensation of a newbie collection of classes.

Ok, fair enough. It seemed arbitrary, but I guess the end result is generally for web apps & perhaps if it isn't fast enough it shouldn't be written in PHP [period].

then I hope you'll be pleased to learn that I can

instantiate the class and perform 500 IP address lookups in 1 second (+/- 0.1).

Is not the 1000 per sec of ip 2 country tools (http://weirdsilence.net/ip2c.php), but is good enough.

Well, as my subsequent email indicated, it's actually 2000 req/s on my machine when doing simple ip-to-country lookups. The 500 lookup/s is for IP to city, region, country, latitude, longitude, postal code, tel. area code, DMA code. Hans
