A simple index gives me this: 0.001297 seconds Which is normal. All it does is request a counter from the DB and add 1 to it. However, the page STILL takes 5 seconds to load. Or rather; for 5 seconds it does NOTHING and then it suddenly loads. This is not the case with .htm and .html files, they load at once... Somewhere there must be something which slows the execution of .php files for (exactly) 5 seconds.
