Well, connecting to a ODBC source my hd start to swap too much
and I load pages (on the local machine) at 1.5 kb/s.
PHP run on a NT box with Apache 1.3b6

This script reproduce my problem:

<? 

	$dbh = odbc_connect($dsn,$usr,$pwd);
	$result = odbc_exec($dbh,$query);
	odbc_fetch_row($result);
	echo ">>";
	echo odbc_result($result,0);
?>

Configuration:

PC Pentium 133MhZ 32Mb Ram
Windows NT 4.0 sp 3
PHP 3.0RC4
Apache 1.3b6
The odbc driver is MyODBC 2.50.15 for NT

The binary and the php.ini file are unmodified from the
distribution file.

P.S.: Connecting directly to the MySQL server with the mysql
functions this problem doesn't appear.
