Are you aware that PHP's serialize format is used by various
non-PHP modules as an exchange format? E.g.
PHP::Serialization
PHP::Session::Serializer::PHP
There is also the issue of BC as serialized data is
frequently stored permanently for later reuse (not that I
would condone such usage, but it needs to be considered).
As such, I would rephrase the question as
Who writes the fastest and best written serialization/
unserialization routines for zval's while maintaining the
current format?
