There is no reason to have PHP_Archive in a phar. No need whatsoever... it would be a waste of space! Not having the extension would lead to
Yes, the whole whopping 20K of space uncompressed and with comments, so could be probably 10K or less without comments, whitespace and minimized for extraction. Serious waste of bandwidth worth discussing.

Yeah, I do not think that the size is really that big of an issue in this case. It would just be a code management inconvenience (having to update the same thing in all your applications, which requires downloading an new version of the application in its entirety etc.). @Greg: Do you have any benchmark result ready to compare the difference in start up cost? regards, Lukas
