I find it puzzling. I tried my best to make Pritlog as efficient as possible according to my knowledge / reading. When I compared it with PPLOG (the perl script where I got the idea to start Pritlog from), it still feels slower. Below are two links on the same server:
Link1: Pritlog - http://tipsforeveryone.com/blog
Link2: PPLOG - http://tipsforeveryone.com/pplog/pplog.pl
This is not to discourage anybody. On further reading and research on the net, this statement popped out - PHP in its CGI version offered much worse results, 5-6 times slower than Perl, especially lagging on the db connection time. On my server, PHP runs as CGI and is this causing the delay?
Now, when I check my other server where PHP runs as FastCGI, it is really fast:
Link3: http://hardkap.net/pritlog/0.8/index.php/mainPage
So, don't be discouraged with PHP. It soars as long as it runs as FastCGI.
