I messed up on the test, I left output buffering enabled for tests 2 and 3. So you can see that using output buffering on top of the global output buffering (whether specialized or not) slows you down by about 30%.
However, to be fair, the numbers w/o global output buffering enabled: Specialied OB: 26 req/s PHP OB (C level, for each separate string): 23 req/s >No buffering: 12 req/s >Specialized OB: 36.3 req/s >PHP OB (C level, for each separate string): 35.9 req/s >PHP OB (userland, for the entire phpinfo()): 50 req/s By far, the quickest solution is to use output buffering for the entire page. -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
