It's an avoidable waste of resources to be parsing the same large scripts every time someone hits a page. Anyone have an idea know how hard it would be to add a bytecode generator/parser into the php frontend (it could even automatically check timestamps to make sure the bytecode is newer than the script)? Probably the better place to put the bytecode generator is in Zend engine (post-optimization), but the license seems to be unfavorable. Ciao, Andreas
