What are common reasons for long wait times in PHP scripts when loading resources?

Long wait times in PHP scripts when loading resources can be caused by inefficient code, slow database queries, excessive file operations, or network latency. To improve performance, optimize your code, use caching mechanisms, minimize database queries, and reduce the number of file operations. 

// Example of optimizing code by using caching mechanism
$cacheKey = 'resource_data';

// Check if data is already cached
if ($cachedData = apc_fetch($cacheKey)) {
    $resourceData = $cachedData;
} else {
    // Fetch resource data from database
    $resourceData = fetchResourceDataFromDatabase();

    // Cache the data for future use
    apc_store($cacheKey, $resourceData, 3600); // Cache for 1 hour
}

// Use the $resourceData in your script
