I'm wondering how any of your code is being processed at all. The
webserver knows what pre-processor to send a page through based on its
extension.
If your PHP code is being processed in a .htm file then the webserver must
be set up to send .htm files through the PHP pre-processor. Which mean all
of your webpages are being sent through the pre-processor whether they
have any code to process in them or not. Needless to say this is causing a
greatly increased load on your webserver.
I'm sorry that I don't have any constructive ideas about the difference in
performance but it's difficult to troubleshoot an issue that is obviously
being caused by a webserver that has been, evidently, purposefully
incorrectly configured.
The one thing that I can think of, depending on what webserver you're
running, is that it might be confused as to what language it's seeing when
you run a script based on what languages that webserver processes by
default.
I'd suggest if you're using the short tags <? to try the long tags <?php
and see if that straightens it out.
