Re: php 5.2.0

While adding an optimizer to APC is definitely a good thing, but ultimately APC is an external tool, we want to make the language itself to become faster. There are series of things that became a bit slower since 4.4, some have been resolved, others are still pending. These are the things 5.2 will attempt to address.

Well, I'm in no position to ask anyone for anything, but... here goes anyway ;) APC is a good caching mechanism, but is lacking in optimization features, where for example (to my knowledge anyway) Zend Optimizer is doing a good job. Since it looks like APC is going to be included in PHP 6 by default, maybe it's getting more and more interesting to invest time in optimization algorithms to enhance APC? I think it's probably the one area in which the most performance gain for users can be achieved.
