Lately I've been hearing a lot of people evangelizing that PHP with Resin is actually much faster than with mod_php, but I cannot find any benchmark anywhere.well of course it is, but faster than what.., regular php. Be the jvm; what do you see..? Native caching support, and that's where you'll find the main speed advantage. but we in the C php camp just use opcode caching and pretty much account for that difference pretty easily.
Is it true or just vendor BS?lots of projects have started using the jvm b/c it's a wicked fast cross platform solution. there are plenty of ways to make php fast though, and when comparing the standard php impl to quercus, I think the other tradeoffs outweigh any performance discrepancies. -nathan
