Thank you for the advice.  I have noticed the slowdown when reading 
about abstraction layers and ADODB.  This is one of the reasons why I 
am going to try ADODB because the developers there attempt to 
make a faster abstraction layer.  Also, my page is very low traffic right 
now and I would be pleasantly surprised if it got busy enough for the 
difference in speed to mean something.
