Hi, I'm uning postgres 8.1 at P4 2.8GHz with 2GB RAM. (web server + database on the same server) Please, how long takes your connectiong to postgres? $starttimer=time()+microtime(); $dbconn = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=xxx user=xxx password=xxx") or die("Couldn't Connect".pg_last_error()); $stoptimer = time()+microtime(); echo "Generated in ".round($stoptimer-$starttimer,4)." s"; It takes more then 0.05s :( Only this function reduce server speed max to 20request per second. Than you for any Help!
