I believe using impersonation only changes the security context in which the PHP scripts are run. Which is useful in virtual host situations. Not modify the priority of the process.<br />

An interesting thing is to check whether you have the same delay with an exe file that does absolutely nothing. Just launch. From there you can determine the time that is required for that.

I'd like to run the scripts as a customized user rather than window's IUSR -- is there some way to do this?<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a console-based VB.NET program which I am invoking from PHP. However, I believe that because it is being run under the IUSR account, it is only running at about 50% the speed as if it were run from the server's command line.<br />
<br />
I've heard that impersonation might be used to run the app, from php, as if it were a user with &quot;higher&quot; access to the CPU.<br />
<br />
Is this what I need? If so, how do I do it with PHP?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Windows Server 2003 - PHP - Impersonation - What is it and do I need it?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
