[FX.php List] PHP installer solution movie and help guide setupphp and cURL in 5 Minutes

Oh yeah, and speed. I forgot something to complain about  ;-)

The different coding for FX or PHP API vs MySQL is annoying, but I  
can live with it. The speed becomes a deal breaker pretty quickly  
though. The XML parsing is only a tiny fraction of the time taken -  
the bulk of it is taken up by FMS creating and returning the dataset  
in XML to begin with. If they could just make it half as fast? A  
quarter? Then maybe we wouldn't need to use MySQL as a buffer for FMP.
