It does initiate a DB connection. Bt thru a socket on the same server. Shouldn't take that long. No persistent DB connections. I've heard they can be troublesome. DNS lookups only took a17 to 300ms, although I just tested this -- not first hit of the day. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
