So I'm looking at the CPU graphs for the Wikimedia clusters before and
after the switch to HHVM, and I'm going "oh my goodness, I'd like that
thanks".

rationalwiki.org is on 1.19 and I need to get off my backside and
upgrade it to 1.23 (only been putting it off approximately since 1.23
came out). (We're sticking to LTS releases for sanity and hit-by-a-bus
factor.) I'd quite like to reduce load on the box by that much.

0. Has anyone else tried this?

1. How hard is it to set up MediaWiki to run in HHVM? (is there a
handy guide on mediawiki.org?)

2. What should I expect if I try to run 1.23 on HHVM?

3. We have fiddly custom extensions, so what I'll probably do is
convert to 1.23 on Zend mod_php, make sure everything's behaving,
*then* convert to HHVM. Just how good is HHVM's PHP coverage? What
should I expect? I understand it's really very good ...

4. What's memory consumption like?
