Is it in-efficient to use shuffle()? I have a simple 6 element array with 6
strings (URLs to images) and I'm using shuffle() to display all of them in
random order upon each page load. The images take a long time (of course is
relative, it's mere seconds) but when I remove the call to shuffle, they
appear much much faster...
Also, is there an efficient number or limit of queries one should call in a
singular PHP page? On average, I'll make 7-10 seperate queries to display a
page (a graphics related portal and content management system)... I have a
singular database connection (with mysql_pconnect()) and use that same
connection throughout the script. Sometimes it appears to load quickly,
than other times it doesn't, and I'm afraid that as more and more content
get put into the databases, the slower it will perform.
