Rene, I must be missing something here. That sort of size implies millions in advertising revenue, so why are we discussing how much performance we can squeeze out of a single box? I mean, I'm all for efficient use of system resources, but if I have a semi-scalable application, it's a lot easier just getting another box than trying to change the implementation language. OTOH, if my design is not scalable, it's probably also easier to redo it than trying to change the implementation language.

again: a) you're determining the contents of my toolset, without it affecting you at all. the way you want it php will degrade into a toy language. b) i will aim for all possible decreases in development time and operating costs during, not only in the grow phase but also in hard economic times. any business person knows why.

and you're still trying to impose a toolset on me.

I didn't think I was - you're the one who seem to be fixed on PHP as the only solution, and advocating that it be enhanced to suit your purposes.

no, php is just my toolset of choice, and i think it should grow with the times and support threading and shared memory. maybe even a few cool features to enable use-as-a-cloud.

Why are you imposing a toolset on the developers of PHP? Are you even subscribed to internals? Have you even thought of creating a patch? It's one thing to debate the merits of a tool, it's another to insist that it be added because you think php needs to "grow up".
