Rene, it seems to me that you and I are advocating two opposite positions on the topic of threading in PHP, so aren't we both trying to determine the contents of each others toolset?

*bingo* It should be a debate about the merits of each position. Not a pissing contest.

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.

Given that the lifetime effort (=cost) of any software project is divided into 25% development and 75% maintenance, you really ought to focus on the latter. If you want more performance at a minimal cost, surely you should opt to write in a compiled language where you'll get far more bang for the buck.

Oh no, now you're suggesting he change his management focus :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP
