Of course... Most of the time I code on my Windoze machine.

I see. (Sorry about my first comment.) Well, I'm not really aware of any (ini) settings that would drastically change the speed PHP. However, there are some programming techniques (already discussed in the list) that would "speed up" your scripts. (e.g., "caching" the results of your sql query on a text file and calling that file later on perhaps, etc.) But if you're already doing something similar, I guess, the bottleneck would be the hardware. Add more RAMs if possible, change to a faster harddisk (SCSI or use RAID), get another PIII-800 and upgrade your motherboard to dual CPU, etc.--I'm sure your boss (if you have one and if you can convince him/her that it's necessary) will even be happy to get you a new workstation. You're running a lot of other applications so I'm pretty sure you'll benefit from a faster machine. Why do the other app run faster? I don't really know. But, maybe, IIS is just friendlier with its relatives... Just my opinion... - E [snip] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
