Description: ------------ I have a DB_DataObject with 40 fields. One of the fields is 2.1 kb. The rest are less than 64 bytes. I'm on MySQL. The setFrom operation takes 0.3 secondes. That seems too long.

For info, some XDebug profiling before your modif : Function Summary Profile (sorted by total execution time) Total Time Taken Avg.

Array's are funny about references, but I'll try. I'm having fun with the table/fromValue stuff, unless you really think pass/by/ref changes something.

Yup APC takes care of that nicely. 'etat : 0.000288963317871' 'affichage : 0.000288963317871' 'relectures : 0.000288009643555' Note that these times are without XDebug, but they demonstrate the usefulness of APC.
