Why is websocket php taking a very long time to complete a request?

Question

PHP

Hello! I use this socket chat on the site. There was a need to save each message in the database. As a result, in the server.php file, in the loop where it checks for new messages in the chat (line 46) on the github in server.php, I connected redbean.php via require_once, and then the usual construction for adding an entry to the database:

spoiler

$add2Db = R::dispense('chatmes');
      $add2Db->reg_data = time();
      $add2Db->username = $user_name;
      $add2Db->message = $user_message;

      R::store($add2Db);

But now, when sending a message, it takes more than 2 seconds before the message is displayed.
How do they implement this without delay? What can you advise?
Thanks to everyone who will respond.

Answer 1

1. What prevents that library from being connected 1 time at the beginning of the script?
2. Supplement the code with the collection of timestamps - so it will immediately become clear what specifically slows down

Answer 2

Here are my articles where I describe how you can make a chat without delay in the delivery of messages and so that the database is not loaded with a lot of requests.
