(the JVM won't be initialized until your code calls it) There is a note in the README file for the Java extension that if you are concerned about maximizing Java performance, you might prefer to compile PHP using the sapi servlet so that PHP would actually run under your servlet engine. Obviously the decision to use this would depend on whether you had more logic implemented as PHP or Java in your site.
