Since switching to MySQL I've definitely noticed things being a lot quicker. Then again, my slimserver machine is fairly underpowered (PIII 450 with 224MB RAM), so you may not see these effects if running on a decent machine to start with.
If you know MySQL anyway, I'd say go for it. If you don't, go for it if you're feeling adventurous (shouldn't be too hard), or you think you need all the speed up you can get. Bear in mind though, MySQL isn't officially supported. However, it's hard to imagine Slim not supporting it anyway. ;-) Max mherger Wrote: > > thx.
