Well, that differs with some of my tests. But then they say "Most
operations". They don't talk about the extra overhead (memory and

It depends on the program. Sometimes I find the mysqli_ interface works
better in the program, sometimes the mysql_ interface. It depends on a
lot of factors in the scripts.
