RE: Is PHP really run faster with Zend Optimizer installed?

Zend Optimiser adds overhead for optimising the code. An obvious reply to your question is that since optimised code runs faster than non-optimised code, you will receive a speed benefit when there are loops in the code. For example, looping through an array or recordset. Be aware that database connections are slow, so avoid redundant loops when connected to the database. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Bear [mailto:bbbbear@china.com] Sent: Monday, 18 December 2000 2:50 AM To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: Is PHP really run faster with Zend Optimizer installed? I use Win32 PHP4.0.1 with Zend Optimizer installed, but it seems that my PHP pages don't show faster than whitout Zend Optimizer. in contrast, it seems take more time in page loading. How can I feel the another 40% to 80% faster accord with Zend says.
