I just converted a website to use pear's db abstraction, from a simple uncomplete class i created, but before I moved things into place I checked how long it took the page to be compiled.
The old site - 0.0249 Seconds
The pear one - 0.0987 Seconds
That seems like a big difference to me, I turned on persistent connections in both. Has anyone else seen this? Is it simply the complexity of pear that is makeing it 3x slower? Thanks, Matt
