I've got a problem with performance...

I'm working on a fairly slow embedded platform (a 200 MHz ARM board).
We run a browser and a webserver on the same platform.

I've timed the performance, and the webserver takes between 5 and 6
seconds to generate the page. Most of this time is spent running php.
The webserver is buysbox's httpd daemon, which invokes php every time a
page is served.

I'm guessing that I could save a few seconds of this time by keeping php
resident in memory so rather than incurring the overhead of starting it
every time.

So... Is this a right guess? How long does it take to load php? Is
there some way to daemonize PHP so that it doesn't have to load up every
time?

I am looking for any and all suggestions to speed this beast up....
