I'm speaking from personal experience. When I upgraded from PHP 4 to 5, my PHP-powered sites got a nice speed boost. With PHP 4, I was using an accelerator, which doesn't work with PHP 5. PHP 5 is as fast, or faster, than PHP 4 with the accelerator. Without the accelerator, PHP 5 is much faster, on my sites. -- Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
