Hi,
As you sure know the ADOdb layer exists also in a C version you can compile and run as a php extension. This version can speed up the query execution up to 100%.

I'm wonder if anyone experimented this with Moodle and wich were the results.

TIA
Stefano

For testing purposes, I have my computer setup as a WAMP server (WinXP, Apache 2.0.55, MySQL 4.1.13, PHP 5.1.1). I have installed the adodb.dll but do not really have a way of doing any meaningful benchmarks to see if there is a performance boost or not. If someone points me in the right direction I would be happy to do some benchmarking. The install was very simple and if there does not appear to be any immediate problems.

If it does provide a performance improvement, I would think that this could be a recommended performance setting. I have not yet tried it on our production WIMP (Windows 2000 Server, IIS 5.0, MySQL 4.1.13, PHP 5.0.4) server. Does anyone know of any reason(s) why I should not give the adodb.dll extension a run?
