Oops. I copy and pasted the wrong file. The LiveCode version was:

<html><head></head><body><?rev put "<p>I've started</p>" ?></body></html>

I don’t know. On-rev does not have mod_php installed so PHP runs as a cgi script. If I remember correctly, the last tests that I ran showed that LiveCode and PHP loaded in very similar times. These results suggest that LiveCode was running as a cgi on On-Rev.

I shared the web pages/scripts as a means of finding out if the issue with LiveCode on Dreamhost is during the time LiveCode is loading. There are an easy way to roughly compare the load times of HTML, PHP and LiveCode on any host.
