Hi all, Today a fellow developer pointed me at Quercus (http://quercus.caucho.com/), a PHP5 implementation in Java as a servlet, implementing the APC API and providing Java-bound equivalents to several other PHP modules (eg. PDO backed on JDBC).
In itself it sounded interesting to me, but this guy claimed that they'd managed to deploy a high-load Drupal instance on it and had it scale much better than mod_php, as they could use Apache's mpm_worker because Quercus is fully thread-safe. I came across a similar claim of 4x performance here: http://www.workhabit.com/labs/resin-backed-php-drives-4x-performance-improvements-drupal It also offers some interesting abilities like being able to thread inside web requests, persisting variables between requests (reducing the need for memcache?) and the ability to easily integrate with Java stuff like Hibernate. But I myself haven't tried it... I'm just wondering if anyone else has and has an opinion? If not I guess I'll give it a go and see if it's all it's hyped up to be...
