Re: [RFC] Fast Parameter Parsing API

This patch is connected with Zend only in a way, that I worked on it during last days (it's even not my idea). but once I saw the idea I saw how it may be useful. I really don't understand you attitude to us. We are working hard to make a real big step forward... 2.5% speedup on real-life is not a good gain? where do you live? :) Thanks. Dmitry.
