Hi,

I really do not see the point is worrying all too much about multi threading in PHP. Writing proper multi threaded code is hard and why bother? Your server is going to be busy doing tons of other things at the same time. So all your CPU's and cores should have plenty of things to do. Also PHP is a glue language, so by this virtue it should not require multi threading in order to get decent performance/latency for a request. Most of the work is performed elsewhere anyways (like inside your database server).

Of course you can use PHP to write deamons, hardcore number crunching, desktop apps. But this should never dominant decisions about the core of the language. So I welcome whatever Sara is playing with that can be added as an extension to PHP.

regards,
Lukas
