Re: Planning to create Array -> XML extension

> I think, you will start to notice difference if arrays contain 1000+ elements. Unfortunately, 100+. I suspect that PHP concatenation operator (".") is inefficient because of multiple memory reallocation and copy operations performed (there is no Java StringBuffer analog in PHP), so I am planning to perform thes operations in C memory "doubled-reallocation" algorythm. (Direct using of PHP's libxml's appendChild() via PHP calls is even slower, it's tested.) And the resulting XML may be about 300-400K (bad, but can't do anything with that, it's the legacy architecture issue). These 300K are parsed by libxslt in 2-3ms (very fast!), but generated from arrays for about 100-200ms in pure PHP (very slow).
