Hi, I've attached a small patch which removes HANDLE_NUMERIC() from zend_hash.c, and moves it instead to the necessary places in zend_execute.c, in the form of a zend_is_numeric_key() function defined in zend_operators.c Anyhow, I'm getting a really nice performance increase. Although it depends on the usage, it certainly makes pretty much everything zippier (and dare I say sexier. :)

I'm not sure you can be certain that other places in PHP don't use the feature of HANDLE_NUMERIC. Seems to be quite a dangerous patch to me even if you solved it for the symbol table. Andi
