This is of really low importance, but I found it interesting. A new guy on the Phorum dev team decided to convert all double quotes to single quotes for "speed" in CVS. The common assumption is that single quotes are faster than double quotes. However, I am of the mind set of using double always as it creates less headaches later to add a variable to the string. In an attempt to show him the marginal savings of this, I did some benchmarks. The results were confusing.
$var="This is test number $x"; was really slow. but, $var="This is test number ".$x; and $var='This is test number '.$x; we basically identical. Andi, Zeev, if you want waste some energy on exanding on why this is and if anything in ZE2 will change it I would find it a good read.
