[FX.php List] Speeding up page display

[DC]

I've had a lot of success with using Smarty to help cache FMP  
results. Caching avoids a database call.

http://smarty.php.net
also, check the wiki for a writeup a did a few years back with my  
specific requirements (which were similar to yours):
http://smarty.incutio.com/?page=CacheAndCompile

If your HTML data doesn't change that much (meaning you're storing it  
in an FMP database because of organization rather than "update- 
ability"), Smarty has the ticket for you.

It's a little learning up front but you should be able to get FMP  
results to cache within 1 or two hours of grabbing the Smarty  
codebase and following their great crash course.

Of course, there are other, more basic caching systems out there that  
will help you write your FMP output into raw HTML to disk and have it  
served as raw HTML from then on unless you "flip a switch" to let the  
page request go to the database.

try googling php caching tutorial
