I think Zend even has their business model partly in the encoder software,
there must be some need for it. Don't you think so?
Granted, this would increase the size of the download by a hundred
kilobytes.
I have no connection to Turck MMcache in any way than just a user who needs
it. But distributing software encoded with it is difficult while it is not
so easily available (have to be separately downloaded and installed).
Don't you think that this kind of functionality would be good for *PHP
language* in general, in many ways? It would encourage some people to adopt
PHP in the first place and not think of alternatives which offer this by
default. And of course this kind of software increases the performance too,
while it has the caching functionality as well.
