Hi Gurus
I am building my first ever PHP site. Should I worry about speed?
These are the parameters of my site
- MySQL database with about 500 records (about 50 fields each) and a couple
of small related tables
- about two or three visitors at the same time
- hosted on fast and large server in the US
Let me know what else I should consider and how/if I should tweak for speed.
TIA

For something like that speed won't be that big of a concern, anything
you do will probably be fast enough. Obviosuly it never hurts to
consider speed and always try and make things as fast as you can, but if
you find yourself trying to do something that will be fast and cannot
manage to get it working, don't hesitate to consider doing it a slower,
yet easier way. It would probably take some extreamly bad code to make
the site slow enough to notice any problems with a setup like that.

Ok, thank you.
The reason I asked was that the site I am working with searches text fields
rather than ID numbers, but I guess it is nothing really to worry about.

Hi Nicolaas,
You probably don't have to worry.
PHP is very fast and your database very small.
But of course, it all depends on what you do.
If you have 500 records with 50 fields, and you are doing some very
complicated itterated math stuff over all the fields, things will be slow.
However, if you just search some fields, and make some joins, that will be
done very quickly.
So it all depends...
Very stupid but true advise: Just test it. :-)
I also agree with Kicken's response: Try to make your code fast, but if you
get stuck: simplify (and slower) your code.
Clear, good understandable code is more important than speed in my humble
opinion, especially when you are new to PHP/databases.
Just make sure that you know what you are doing, maybe after that start
worrying about speed.
Regards,
Erwin Moller

Yep, I think you are right... I am just a bit anorexic when it comes to code
and the like - so I started to worry about it, now I am just trying to write
simple codes - the less lines the better....keepi ng it simple.
Thank you for your info

The people I was working with have a site that uses lots of php

that PHP5 has improved handling of objects over PHP4, so it would
probably be faster also.
In fact it seems slower. We did a few timing loops, in which a a

Hi I am fairly new to programming but not as such that I am a total beginner
From what I understand C and C++ are faster languages than Python. Is this
because of Pythons ability to operate on almost any operating system? Or is

any system
If this is the reason why, than why don't developers create specific Python

It seems there are quite a few projects aimed to improve Python's
speed and, therefore, eliminate its main limitation for mainstream
acceptance.
I just wonder what do you all think?
Will Python (and dynamic languages in general) be someday close to
compiled languages speed?
What will be the future of Psyco, Pypy, Starkiller, Ironpython and all
the other projects currently on development?

Hi,
We use a script here at work that runs whenever someone logs into
their machine that logs various bits of information to a database. One
of those bits is the CPU's model and speed. While this works in 95% of
the time, we have some fringe cases where the only thing returned is
the processor name. We use this data to help us decide which PCs need
to be updated, so it would be nice to have the processor speed in all
cases.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
