Hey guys,
After a brief discussion with Pierre I'm taking this discussion to here.
We have the igbinary pecl extension available [1], however not many of our
userbase are familiar that it even exists.
Here [2] is the performance boost we get from using igbinary with
serialize() and unserialize().
Here we get a great perf boost, and what's more excellent as we don't have
to break BC to get there!
This seems like a no-brainer and a good investment in the speed increase of
PHP by default for the future users of the platform.
