environment - PII 450, 1 Gb RAM, Windows 2000 Server, IIS 5, PHP 4.3.1, MySQL 4.0.23 My php website screams on my local network segment but slows to a crawl everytime a remote user (someone outside my firewall) calls a php page. My processor goes to 100% for 2 to 5 seconds and php.exe becomes the top CPU consumer. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? I forward port 80 requests through the firewall presently and I think I have covered all of my DNS bases. Thanks for any help !
