well i might use $tempXML .= "<el_1>$var_1</el_1><el_2>$var_2</
el_2>.....";
then print it once.
however have you thought of calling
mysqldump -q -X -u user - p password
using
$command = 'mysqldump -q -X -u user - p password';
passthru($command);
it might be faster! follow jerry's advice and add some calls to
microtime in certain lines and use the difference to see where the
bottlenecks are occuring, since your file is so big i would be tempted
to use on the fly gzipping to get that data down to approximately
1/8th of its size - depending on the data. i know that adds
compression and decompression overhead, but it will speed up the
actual download for a file that size.
also try removing the while loop and using
$num = mysql_num_fields ($query);
to get the number of rows returned, then
use a for loop to concatenate a variable, then print it once you exit
the for loop.
again untested, it might be faster, i seem to remember while loops can
be slow, but i havent actually benchmarked this statement so dont
trust it.
