Hi there,

After a lot of research I found a serious performance problem. I think the attached test script is self explaining.

So basically the performance is dramatically worse if I use PHP as module in comparison with the PHP cli. CentOS does not have a different php.ini for the Apache module and cli version.

I found a similar bug 28610, and I tried the proposed solution. But output buffering is already turned on.

*setup*
I use PHP 5.3.3, installed at CentOS via http://iuscommunity.org/. They use this configure line:
'./configure' '--build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' '--host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' '--target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' '--program-prefix=' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib64' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--cache-file=../config.cache' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d' '--disable-debug' '--with-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--without-pear' '--with-bz2' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-t1lib=/usr' '--without-gdbm' '--with-gettext' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--with-pcre-regex=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--with-kerberos' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-calendar' '--without-mime-magic' '--without-sqlite' '--with-libxml-dir=/usr' '--with-xml' '--with-system-tzdata' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--without-mysql' '--without-gd' '--disable-dom' '--disable-dba' '--without-unixODBC' '--disable-pdo' '--disable-xmlreader' '--disable-xmlwriter' '--without-sqlite3' '--disable-phar' '--disable-fileinfo' '--disable-json' '--without-pspell' '--disable-wddx' '--without-curl' '--disable-posix' '--disable-sysvmsg' '--disable-sysvshm' '--disable-sysvsem' 


Test script:
---------------
<?
require_once('../inc/TPInit.inc.php');


$sql = "SELECT TOP 10 * FROM productVersions WHERE subCategoryID = 8;";
benchmark('sql', 'start');
$result = mssql_query($sql);
echo 'Small result set <br/>' . "\n";
echo 'Rows in returnset: ' . mssql_num_rows($result) . '<br/>' . "\n";
echo 'Time: ' . benchmark('sql', 'show') . '<br/>' . "\n";


$sql = "SELECT * FROM productVersions WHERE subCategoryID = 8;";
benchmark('sql', 'start');
$result = mssql_query($sql);
echo 'Large result set <br/>' . "\n";
echo 'Rows in returnset: ' . mssql_num_rows($result) . '<br/>' . "\n";
echo 'Time: ' . benchmark('sql', 'show') . '<br/>' . "\n";


Expected result:
----------------
Small result set
  Rows in returnset: 10
  Time: 0.0054750442504883
Large result set
  Rows in returnset: 73782
  Time: 34.852993011475

Actual result:
--------------
Small result set
  Rows in returnset: 10
  Time: 0.0027780532836914
Large result set
  Rows in returnset: 73782
  Time: 0.45695114135742
