Make it write out a static .js file and link to that. Apache can serve up files like that way faster directly than piping it through php. If you don't want to go through that hassle, make sure you have a far future expire header on the file so that the client does not request it each time. See look at this example script named testjs.php: <?php header("Content-Type: application/javascript"); readfile("yahoo-dom-event.js"); ?> Here is hitting the php script: $ ab -n 500 -c 50 http://localhost/testjs/testjs.php Document Path: /testjs/testjs.php Document Length: 31068 bytes Concurrency Level: 50 Time taken for tests: 4.886 seconds Complete requests: 500 Failed requests: 0 Broken pipe errors: 0 Total transferred: 15795390 bytes HTML transferred: 15689340 bytes Requests per second: 102.33 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 488.60 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 9.77 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 3232.79 [Kbytes/sec] received Now hitting the JS directly: $ ab -n 500 -c 50 http://localhost/testjs/yahoo-dom-event.js Document Path: /testjs/yahoo-dom-event.js Document Length: 31068 bytes Concurrency Level: 50 Time taken for tests: 0.925 seconds Complete requests: 500 Failed requests: 0 Broken pipe errors: 0 Total transferred: 15992720 bytes HTML transferred: 15831764 bytes Requests per second: 540.54 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 92.50 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 1.85 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 17289.43 [Kbytes/sec] received I could go from ~100 requests per second to ~500 requests per second by hitting a js file directly. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
