RE: [PHP-WIN] Very slow response using php.exe under windows9x

Hi! > i'm using php.exe directly to parse some php files, under windows2k and > windowsNT the procedure is very fast, otherwise under windows95/98 it's very slow... Imagine my suprise. ;) > Why? i really need to obtain some performances under win9x too... Win85/98 is a consumer OS. It's not made to be fast or even to be stable. It's made to do a whole lot of stuff (useless and otherwise) and look pretty. Though the pretty part is all in the eye of the beholder. How to get it faster? Kill every single unused process you can. I mean everything. Make sure the five million startup processes are gone. Do the standard MSoft thing and toss as much RAM into the box as possible. Get a faster hard drive. Get a faster processor. Pray. Alot. Oh...and reboot, alot. Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but methinks you can make a pig as pretty as possible and you'll still have...a pig. :/ - Erik
