i used webgrind and xdebug to messure my site performance. 85% of page loading time is taken for the function php::PDO->__construct (about 1 second) ...
this is unacceptable. can i somehow optimize this function? (caching, mysql configuration etc.)
i am using php, mysql and codeigniter with redbean. redbean uses that pdo construct function...
here is the function source code
/**
* Establishes a connection to the database using PHP PDO
* functionality. If a connection has already been established this
* method will simply return directly. This method also turns on
* UTF8 for the database and PDO-ERRMODE-EXCEPTION as well as
* PDO-FETCH-ASSOC.
*
* @return void
*/
public function connect() {
if ($this->isConnected) return;
$user = $this->connectInfo['user'];
$pass = $this->connectInfo['pass'];
//PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND
$this->pdo = new PDO(
$this->dsn,
$user,
$pass,
array(1002 => 'SET NAMES utf8',
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC,

$this->pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES, true);
$this->isConnected = true;
