Re: MOPS Benchmark

I wouldn't pay too much attention to anything in version 0.0.3. The Zend engine was quicker than Perl at this kind of stuff during initial stages of development, but as more features and functionality are added, it became slower. That said - if you're using PHP because of performance, you're choosing the wrong language. For instance, I can pretty much assure you that Microsoft's CLR is going to be quicker, because it'll be almost in the same speed of native code. The thing about PHP is everything it gives you, and the ease of using everything it gives you, while still being quite quick. It's not supposed to be the quickest.
