Presumably, because PDO is designed to allow you to work with different
databases it is less "optimized" than something like mysqli which is
only foicussed on one DBMS. Also since different DBMSes have different
feature sets, PDO probably covers most of the common denomiators rather
than 100% of each DBMS.

This is why many PHP frameworks use PDO.
