Re: PHP and VMware: SLOW

I'm finding PHP really slow when it runs in VMware.

On my ancient 1ghz sarge box:
php = 3 x perl

On my 3 ghz ubuntu 6.06 VMware instance, running php4:
php = 6 x perl

Why is php slower so much slower under VMware?

Are apache, php and perl configured on both servers exactly the same
way?
Do you use the same versions?
Are php and perl part of apache or compiled as modules?
Does php run with the same modules?

Although a factor of 2 is really strange. But when I run Linux via
VMware on my XP box and the vmware window is not active it takes
sometimes a couple of minutes to activate the window. Could it have
something to do with memory swapping of the host system?
