Are you saying that you have a page that chews up 5 HTTP connections, and each uses PHP heavily, and you reload that page every 5 seconds? Maybe you shouldn't do that... Stretch it out to 10 seconds and see where your load goes. Find out which of the 5 sessions is most expensive (slowest). Can you cache the results of that one? How about the second slowest? Can you cache ANYTHING to make the application faster? > Does anyone have an idea of what I can do (short of recoding)? Oh. Well, with no recoding you can: #1. Buy more hardware, and build a server farm. #2. Buy the Zend Cache #3. Install some other Cache product (most of which aren't as good/fast/solid as Zend Cache, imho) Disclosure: I was formerly employed by Zend and am at least as biased as anybody else on this list, if not more so. :-) -- 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
