Create a separate layout in FM for each type of query from php. (I  
prefix mine with "www-" to easily discern them from regular FM layouts).

Put only those fields on such a layout, which are actually used by  
your php script(s). Of course these fields are both the ones you use  
for searches, as well as the ones which are displayed on a webpage,  
or otherwise manipulated by php.

In addition, make sure you limit your searches to the minimum  
required for your application.
The weak link in the FMSA-WPE-FX-apache chain is the XML handling.  
WPE generates the XML reply, and FX transforms it into a PHP array.  
The amount of data in the XML has a great influence on the  
performance of your solution...

hope this helps a little
