What exactly are you using in httpd.conf to make PHP "work"? Do you have any mod_rewrite rules going on in httpd.conf? Do you perhaps have mod_rewrite's engine LOGGING turned on, and cranked up really high, when rules that involve PHP kick in? Just a Wild Guess, but perhaps you have some real funkiness going on before PHP ever gets involved, it just LOOKS like a PHP problem. Another test: Did you happen to compile a PHP CGI/CLI at the same time as the PHP Module you are using? If so, how long does it take to run "php -f /path/to/your/test/file.php" from the command line? Granted, it's not EXACTLY the same code base as the PHP Module, but if that's "fast" and the Module is "slow" you have more indication that the problem is really *before* PHP kicks in. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
