Re: Pear Installer to remove comments

I agree with Arnaud on this one. I'm not convinced that the times are significant enough. PEAR has a hard enough time getting docs made and getting *good* inline doc block comments, the idea of removing comments seems like a step in the wrong direction, regardless of the purpose. - Stan Arnaud Limbourg wrote:

Would'n it make them faster to remove the comments. On a production system source is rarly read. It should be trivial to be done with the tokenizer extension. Just a random thought I had over the week end.

Ilia had done some benchmarking on this, you would need a very large file with a very large amount of comments to begin to notice anything. Plus i often browse the installed code to see what it does, without comments it would be much harder ;) Arnaud.
