While I’m using the Graph API to simple action, like this for example:

require 'src/facebook.php';

# facebook class
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
  'appId'  => 'XXX',
  'secret' => 'XXX',
));

for ($i = 0; $i < 9; $i++)
{
    $url = $facebook->api('/Intel');
    echo $url['name'] . '<br />';
}

(just a quick example, I want to return 9 different pages but it doesn’t matter now)

Well, this action took 9 – 10 SECONDS! too much.. and this is the only acion on the page (you can try run it and see).

What can I do? (if I’m using FQL via api [as method fql.query] it doesn’t improve the running time, I checked it) I have to using graph api.

By the way, I’m using PHP SDK 3.0.1 (newest version.. maybe this is the problem?)

    Do you realize that you are making a remote call in a loop? It will make several remote calls one by one, thats why its slow. API is damn fast.
    What I would suggest you is to use FQL here and send multiple queries in batch. This way you make one remote call and get data of several queries together.

    /**
 * FQL multiquery
 */
$multiquery_fql[ 'query1' ] = $query1;
$multiquery_fql[ 'query2' ] = $query2;
$multiquery_fql = json_encode( $multiquery_fql );
$multiquery_result = $facebook->api(array(
    "method"    => "fql.multiquery",
    "queries"     => $multiquery_fql,
    'access_token' => '' // fill a generic token here (granted to app, independent of user)
));

    And I would always recommend using an app. Its better to get your app blocked in case something goes wrong instead of IP.
