I have ran into an interesting query performance problem that occurs with both 4.3.7 and 5.0.1 against a MySQL 4.1 database. The test program (attached below) works, but performance is extremely sloooow, a perl version of the test program completes in less than 5 seconds with 80k records in table 1 and 138k records in table 2. The PHP program is taking something like 1 to 2 seconds per record. This only seems to occur when you have a query nested inside of another. My test program attached uses mysqli, but mysql functions yield the same result. Any ideas would be appreciated.

<?
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost","test","test","db");

$qry = "select a,b from table1";

$result = mysqli_query($link,$qry);
if (!$result) { echo mysql_error() . "\n"; }
while ($data = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_BOTH)) {
    $sql = "select * from table2 where common=".$data[0];
    $result2 = mysqli_query($link,$sql);
    if (!$result2) { echo mysql_error() . "\n"; }
    while ($data2 = mysqli_fetch_array($result2,MYSQLI_BOTH)) {
      $linenum++;
    }
    mysqli_free_result($result2);
}
mysqli_free_result($result);
mysqli_close($link);
