If it is not problem in your site, possible it is problem in another

Yes-yes !
With MySQL you can do it without problem !

But when you trying it with FireBird, PGSQL, ODBC, or with Remote
Server, you will get another experience...
Example: FireBird connect is very slow. When I not reuse the connection,
I get the page in 5-10 seconds. When I reuse, the generating is below 1
second.
This is not same !!!
