Thanks, that's what I was looking for.  It's microtime(), BTW.  It'll take me
some time to instrument it, but that way I can pinpoint what is really slow.

My current host only supports MySQL.  I contacted hub.org to see if they could
assist in this transition but I haven't heard back.

I'm puzzled by that remark.  How much does TCP get into the picture in a local
Windows client/server environment?
