hi Justin! Well, right. The only advantage is the largest maximal available memory. But I'd to say that if one is processing GB of XML data using DOM, then he should seriously consider xmlreader and xmlwriter. They are stream based parser and used a constant relatively low memory foot print. For the wincache example given above, if an app needs more than a couple of GB for its user cache, solution like memcache should seriously be considered. Opcode cache will certainly reach this value in most cases :) Cheers, -- Pierre

Hi! I was also thinking about x64 php. Guys, you said that 64 bit PHP is slightly slower than 32 bit, but there might be areas where x64 will be faster. Let's imagine site basing on image or video processing. That kind of site could take advantage of x64. Lester gave us a link to unofficial x64 PHP, so compilation is possible. Maybe it is a time to start publishing x64 alpha versions of PHP, collect bugs information and so on. regards Tomasz
