Oh right, okay. For a moment I thought you were talking about a variable-length case insensitive string compare based on this principle :) Your macro seems like a good idea to me. The function I was talking about was an apache-flag checking function, not php.ini, but I guess this could just as well be applied for php.ini.
Like I said, the speedup is about 5x, so I think it's worth it.
