Hello Everyone,

i have a database class that i have created to make working with the
database connections much easier for me, however on my dev machine i
have the following specs

P4 1.4ghz
128mb RDRAM

my question is this....

would my small amount of ram lag my mysql connections?
If i put the site on a live server with more ram etc.. would it load faster?
again this is on my dev machine, however i am thinking it is my
resources that are slowing it almost to a halt, i have never seen a
site (properly coded) that takes 5+ seconds to load the total load
time for this page and profile is
5.5078 seconds (according to my timer class).

i have profiled my app and i see that smarty and my DB::Open method
are what is hogging the load times.  for instance here is my open
method

	public function open() {
		$this->_link = mysql_connect( $this->_host, $this->_user, $this->_pass);
		if ( $this->_link == null ) {
			throw new MySQLEx( '$db->_link == null, connection to
'.$this->_host.' failed');
		}
		if( !mysql_select_db( $this->_database, $this->_link ) ) {
			throw new MySQLEx("could not select database!<br>".mysql_error());
		}
	}

should that really take this long to run?
the rest of the page aside from these 2 objects run around 600 (ms)
each still slow but nowhere near as slow as these 2

here are the results of one such profiling
