Any recommendations on how to make PHP run faster?

To help figure out which queries are running slow there is the php.ini setting:

  mysql.trace_mode=On

Using this will have the php library analyze your queries and if
any of them do table scans php will issue a warning about it, which
can be very helpful finding out where you need indexes.




I have a script pulling a lot of data from MySQL and generating reports and
spitting out data (flush) as it's processing so I can see what's going on.
It was taking around 10 seconds to process each order. I reduced the total
number of orders being processed. I expected the script to take less time
because there were fewer orders to process, but I was surprised to discover
that time spent processing each order also reduced almost in half. I
figured PHP's memory limit per script at 8mb might be the bottleneck, so I
upped it to 128, restarted apache, and reran the script. Increasing
available memory had no effect.



Its hard to say blindly where the bottle-neck is though.

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
