Well, it's much harder to write scripts that leak memory in PHP
than it is when using mod_perl. I think the base memory footprint
may be lower, too, but I haven't measured it.
I'm not very worried about putting up Zend/PHP4 benchmarks as
"attacking" perl. I think it is a question that will get asked
frequently, and we may as well put up the same benchmarks as
exist between Zend/PHP4 and PHP3 and ASP.
