We'll need to review the phar before release. It definitely must be in 5.3, but it should be improved, and this improvements may require some changes in ZE. For now packed phpMyAdmin is 4 times slower than unpacked (with and without opcode cache). Hi,

I am sure this is because non-code files are not cached, and so the archive must be decompressed on each page load. If there was a way to do a persistent temporary file, this could be avoided, and would make compressed phars perform equal to uncompressed phars if coupled with phar.cache_list

I'm going to assign next week to ext/phar. Glad to hear :). I am (as a reminder) out of commission from a coding perspective until August due to poor internet access and no time, just as I have been for every summer.
