That's too bad.  That means we haven't found the problem.  ;-)

Maybe.  How does tsql behave?  If you do:

        tsql -H <hostname> -p <port> -U <user> -P <passwd>

you bypass the freetds.conf (like a better telnet).  If you do:

        tsql -S <servername> -U <user> -P <passwd>

you use freetds.conf.  

If one's faster than the other, let's have a look at freetds.conf.  If
they're both OK, we have a PHP issue.  There was one (possibly bogus) PHP
speed complaint a couple of weeks ago.  I'm not predicting or suggesting
anything, just musing.

One queer thing about these is that FreeTDS 0.60 installs by default in
/usr/local, but your PHP configuration is looking for /usr/local/freetds.
Based on the FreeTDS configure parameters you're showing, freetds.conf
should be in /usr/local/etc, not /usr/local/freetds/etc.

Not a bad article, although a little out of date.  We keep a PHP patch
(#562746) on http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetds/, but it doesn't apply
to your situation.
