PHP: What's the fastest way to query MySQL? Because PDO is painfully slow?

If the slowness is due to having to reach over the network for each connection, and mysql having to do a reverse DNS lookup to check through its GRANTs table, then that overhead could very well account for a large chunk of the latency. Switching to persistent connections would make it a one-time cost for the life of the connection.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
