Hi,
I was thinking about this after the earlier discussions and was
wondering what people thought about phar? Would this improve
performance if you really needed it?
phar is a bit more complicated story... We'll be doing some work on
performance-testing phar too, but that'll take some time. From what I
understand, phar just stabilized and acquired the features it needed to be
able to run with frameworks like ZF, and I'm not sure yet how bytecode
caching solutions work with it. But we definitely intend to address this
topic, now that phar looks like it's ready for the prime time.
Phar works happily with APC, according to Greg. Beyond that - you tell us
(please :)
Performance optimization work has been saved to the last. The most recent
benchmarks gave a performance hit of ~40% - this running phpMyAdmin from an
uncompressed phar and using APC - but Greg has plenty of ideas about how to
turn that around for web apps. Expect to see them in place before Phar 2.0
is declared stable; we only just made it past the first beta release.
- Steph
