I'm not all that qualified to comment as I've never done this sort of testing, but I do wonder if the performance you are seeing may not be all that unreasonable, given that no caching is currently being performed? Using memcached has been known to improve performance dramatically. Profiling never hurts, but there's nothing wrong with doing the easy stuff first, right? -Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net
