If you have the RAM, install php_apc -- once the scripts are included once, the tokenized php will be cached in memory, can be a significant performance boost. We also use it for "global" variables that don't change across scripts, such as state and country names. Great tool, I wish it were built

You might wont to have a look at sparse system and see if it possible in your case to use them. See: http://www.ulib.org/webRoot/Books/Numerical_Recipes/bookcpdf/c2-7.pdf This gives a brief theoretical overview of the possibilities. > -Original Message- > From: Mihail Bota [mailto:mbota

A decent RDBMS should provide the developer with a query analyser which displays how the query will be compiled and give an estimate of execution time in each part so you can investigate where most of the power is drained. By the way, your question is rather not that much about php. (Not that I

Stopping and starting is supposed to be faster. You may want to read: http://phpbeginner.com/columns/jason/echo However, I tend to echo anyway because the code is much easier on the eyes. ;) As far as print vs echo, I have no idea. My guess would be that echo is faster, but I have nothing to ba

Aha, an ex-ASP programmer! I've heard that the stop and start is faster, but it really doesn't matter with PHP. In ASP its an issue because ASP does a context switch every time from HTML to the VBScript/JScript compiler. PHP doesn't do any context switches so there's no overhead to stop and start
