Web browsers have to "calculate" the image-output of the page. IE is specially bad at this as it will generate an in-memory BMP with the full data. That will mean that a page with some millions of characters will generate a memory footprint that surpasses all the memory of the computer and starts to goble disk memory...

P.S.- There is no solution for this problem because web browsers wheren't designed to handle data that way...

It has to do with the browser. IE an others don't like *large* data
specially in tables it will hang, just look take a look with the Task
Manager and you'll see IE just going crazy.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Is stdout slow?


I have a script that grabs some 250,000+ rows, 1 field. Then prints it to
the screen.
The problem is, it takes over 10 minutes just to print. The query itself
takes under 30 seconds. So, is there a faster way to print out 5 million
characters to the web page? This seems to be the slow part. Anyone
experience this and find a solution?

Thanks!

Nicole
