Maybe I am not saying it right. I am saying once you have a connection that's 1 connection ok. Then since you have more tables to grab data from you have to use more query's (I can't spell tonight sorry), which slows the speed down since it has to grab more data from different tables.
But like I said try install PHP 4.3.4 or PHP 4.3.5 and see if it increases you speed. What I did in the past on a linux machine was install Zend optamizer. This usually speeds up the script 40%. Atleast with mine it did. If you own a dedicated server head over to zend.com, if not ask your host to install it since it speeds up PHP files.
