php/mysql performance

[Anon]

I have a few a pages that use php and mysql. The pages with php (such as a page with just phpinfo() ) loads rather slowly. I am running an athlon 700Mhz with 512MBram and when the scripts execute the system hardly notices the load (less than 1% cpu and minimal ram usage) , but the pages still load slowly.

I am using php 4.0pl2.

Any ideas on what could be causing the pages to load so slowly. Any performance tips?

Thanks.

It is probably your browser - pages that have extensive nested tables require that the browser reads to the END of the last close-table before displaying the entire page - therefore - it APPEARS to load slowly - test if this is the case by creating a small basic php script with minimal table layout and see how it loads - it should load very quickly.

I have the same problem, but it is not in my browser, code that i use running on other system much faster.
