these are the ml posts i was referring t:o http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=121626110032715

rmdir etc are working now (Dmitry fixed that during his Phar-week).

This would be great, I will try to verify all of this next week some time.

Dmitry also improved performance while he was in there, but whether Greg will still want to try and squeeze a few more ms out of it is another matter

It's also worth noting that Dmitry had not tried using phar.cache_list when he noted phpMyAdmin being 4 times slower. After trying it, he said to me offlist that phpMyAdmin in a phar actually outperformed phpMyAdmin on-disk (which was better than what I got in my benchmarks), so I think we're good there. I had a couple of other things to try out, but I don't think any other large improvements are possible. Dmitry had planned to add a new callback to the ZE so that we could stop hooking into zend_compile, not sure if that went anywere? Dmitry? Greg
