My system unfroze itself yesterday night, the drive in question can copy a 100mb file at regular speedy speeds with windows explorer, but writing 45mb of html to a file using (thousands of) fwrite() calls takes about 10 minutes (bit slow to say the least). The same fwrite()ing code on my hosted server, with nearly as much html to write out, works comfortably fast as well. I'm very puzzled. Would appreciate any tips to test my home system further.. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
