This is where an IDE such as Zend Studio or PhpEd really helps. If
you're serious about PHP programming, I'd suggest looking into one of
them. They can help pinpoint bottlenecks in code. I've used them both,
and had better luck with Zend Studio. PhpEd was rather buggy, but that
was a couple of versions ago.

If your script doesn't require local resources, as you suggest, I'd be
happy to run it through the Zend debugger for you if you want to send me
the code (scott at webscott * com).
