Three core in one processor consume less than three different processors. More CPUs in one host will also faster than many hosts (processing power). Sorry, but Jani's reference to Moore is correct. But that's definitively not the topic :)If Moore's law stands for the coming years, this argument is moot anyway. By the time PHP 6 is out the door, any performance issues are insignificant. :) If you have setup with 10 machines and new interpreter works 10% faster, you can serve same amount of users with 9 machines. Plus Moore talks about number of transistors and not about performance or power consumption.50% increase sounds off base. But I did not bench php6 yet. When all the new features are implemented, it will make more sense to work on the performance problem. For now, it is simply premature.
