Are they SQL intensive scripts? If they're pure PHP, you should see much more impressive performance. If they're SQL intensive, I think that PHP's overhead is simply no longer a significant factor in the time it takes to execute the script, and that mostly all of what you're waiting for is the SQL to give back results. > and since good is never enough - when can we get our hands on the optimizer? It will take a while, but the optimizer will only give you benefit if what slows you down is PHP. Judging by the numbers you supplied, that doesn't seem to be the case...
