Well with your code it seems to be more of a test of the cpu speed (or maybe even hdd speed) rather than the internet connection. Assuming that the host's cpu speed is a known (and (fairly) easily quantifiable) quantity, then I would assume you're trying to test the connection speed, in which case why not just serve a static file and leave php out of it? -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Blutarsky's Axiom: Nothing is impossible for the man who will not listen to reason. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
