Hi, Property access with PHP5 is very slow compared to PHP4. The reason for this is that property access must be verified *every* time. This seems really unnecessary unless we're indirectly accessing properties.
It has to be verified each time, because we're typeless, and can't do stuff like that in compile time. It's not related to indirect reference... Zeev
