PHP Speed Caps?

SmileyXX3

Here goes

A site I programmed in PHP has an upload module which is a little slow, it uses basic PHP functionality (http_post etc) but arg why is it so slow? I am aware of size caps in php and have already circumvented them, I have not however heard of any SPEED throttles that may be in place

Any help would be appreciated I don't want to have to lease out a windows based server and use ASP just for their uploading needs...that would be ridiculous.

Maybe show us a script could help although uploading files is slow.

Is uploading via PHP usually much slower than conventional upload methods?

set_time_limit(3600);
$path = "./uploads/$upid";
$max_size = 150000000;
if (!isset($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']))
{echo
"
//blah blah html stuff
";};

if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {

if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size']>$max_size) { echo "The file is too big \n"; exit; }

if (file_exists($path . $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'])) { echo "<center>The file already exists</center> \n"; exit; }

$res = copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path .
$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']);
if (!$res) { echo "upload failed! \n"; exit; } else { }

}
