I didn't test on HHVM but I did test on PHP, and in PHP, if you need a static data array, PHP file plus opcode cache is the fastest way I could find to get it. I imagine it holds for HHVM too, maybe even more so. So if we're porting it to PHP it'd make sense to make LM files PHP arrays. -- Stas Malyshev [email protected] _______________________________________________ discovery mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/discovery
