I've just completed a site EssayDig.com which goes to other sites and brings back the number of search results each site has. It seems to lag horribly while it is compiling the results.

I'm using php's join function to connect to and get back the information from each site. Is there a faster way?

There's nothing you can do to speed up the process of acquiring the information. The lag is from connecting to the remote servers, not in formatting the information.

The only thing I could suggest is perhaps caching the information.
