Apache2 W2K slow

[paulsim]

Hi there

I do PHP programming on a Windows 98 computer, (why 98 - well I want to run VBDOS on this computer).

I then transfer PHP files to a W2K computer.

I recently moved to Apache2 and PHP 4.3.11 (from 4.1.3).

One page in particular has some fairly intensive work to do, accessing MySQL a lot and creating two large tables.

This page takes 2 1/2 times longer to load on the W2K server than the W98 server.

I have done timings for various parts of the page using mictotime. All parts are slower on W2K.

Both servers are using the same PHP.INI file.

Globals has to be on as some of the programs still need it, not yet converted.

Anyone has similar experience?

Any thoughts on moving from W2K to XP?

Thanks

Paul

I use XP for development and W2K for my live system and neither have caused me any major problems, have you tried changing the MySQL and Apache processes to a higher priority?
