The stuff I've read on php4/Zend tell of a php compiler that speeds up the
execution of a script by quite a bit. Let me see if I can find the page...here
it is!

Zend includes an optimizing compiler, with some benchmark numbers referenced in
the above article. I don't know the exact nature of zend's relationship to php4,
so I wonder if the compiler and the other nifty things that Zend promises to
offer are going to be available in Midgard 2.0? hmmmm......
