Tokenization is not secure and also is not maintained. It's not likely to
work, so I wouldn't use it unless you plan on maintaining it yourself.
I beleive the Zend team will offer a comercial compiler for PHP scripts in
the future which will both meet the security concerns as well as offer a
spead boost.
If you have complete control over the machine that the scripts are running
on, there are a couple of ways to protect the scripts from other users on
the machine.
