the benchmark i used was just testing the Caching class and this is
usually just one sql-query call (if the site is cached). used ab
from apache for that.

to get a better insight, i wrote a little script using
Pear::Benchmark/Timer.

you can see the script at

http://nomad.ch/php/benchmarkdb.phps

and one output of the result at

http://nomad.ch/php/result.html

(no, the script doesn't work on that machine...)

the times are in microseconds and they are not average values, just one
sample output, but they show the correct magnitude.

as you can see, the connect-function in pear-DB is really time-consuming.
we should investigate in that.
