We have it for quite a while already =)

I didn't run any benchmarks and this wasn't the point of the extension -
I just believe that C is THE language for such things.
Of course it should be a bit faster on large data quantities, but I don't think
data (un)serializing could be a bottleneck for anybody.

It uses officially supported C API and should be (almost?) 100% compatible to PHP API.
