(not sure about all of this...) PHP can do caching, but it has to be coder-implemented; not an automatic thing. For example, one method would be to output an HTML file every 2 hours (or whatever time you choose) and load that instead of grabbing everything from the database again.

I learned the basics of PHP from a Link very well-written tutorial. Had to adapt a couple things, as the article was written for PHP3 (register_globals comes readily to mind....) but it showed the basic parts of PHP (the C/Java and HTML background I have helped a lot) and interaction with MySQL (which was completely new to me).

I agree with karb0n. Changelogs are very useful in knowing whether or not it's worth upgrading and knowing whether or not you want the changes and features that the upgrade includes. I know this probably isn't the best place to say this, but I'll say it here anyway. Other than that, I still love bootskin
