You're joking, right?
Have you stopped to think that it might not be the php code that is
slowing things down?
In another post you show a simple table layout.
Could it be your browser that is causing this 'bottleneck'?
The browser needs to :
read your generated code
parse it
create the DOM structure
render the table

No of the above happens until the </table> tag is reached.

To test this out:
remove all html code from the page and just have your echo statements.
What is the timing?
