Problem with echo/printf

Hi all. I'm using the latest CVS version of PHP4/zend to develop my new site. However I have a big performance problem. My template system gets all the non parsed templates from the database, parses them and put the result in a string. For testing this string is 63 kbytes big. Until now everything is ok and for a rather complex page it takes .25 seconds to get the final string, which is good. Now comes the strange part. All I want to do is send the string to the customer browser. When I do it locally (same machine) with a wget, the final page is completed totally in .25 seconds. Good. However if I do a wget from a machine on the same network, it takes 3 seconds !!! All I do is : echo $Templates["Contenu_Nom"]["main"]; A printf takes about the same time. If I do : for ($i=0;$i<strlen($Templates["Contenu_Nom"]["main"]);$i++) echo $Templates["Contenu_Nom"]["main"][$i]; The page is generated in 1.4 seconds, locally or not, which I believe is normal since this loop is ugly 8-p I did not file a bug report because it may be a bad configuration on my side but I don't remember having this king of problem with PHP3. Any idea ? Best Regards. J-F Mammet webmaster@softgallery.fr
