Xmax -
please get in touch if you wish, but I did some Apache benchmarks with Geo::IP and Pear's GeoIP, both using Maxmind's free database and while Pear was quering at 1/5ms on 100 concurrent connections, Geo::IP was answering 1:180ms but with apache balking after 2000 request...

This really disappointed me and as such we only run PHP on the maxmind dbase....

I never looked into why the delay was there, but care to comment?
