For example, as of PHP 5.5.0 you have the ability to compile PHP byte codes and cache them with the opcache extension (see www.php.net/opcache for more details), which improves performance. There is also the PECL extension APC as well as other third party extensions such as ionCube, XCache, Windows Cache, and Zend OpCache... among others. Additionally, there is the facebook HHVM solution, which is a different approach of using PHP for those with incredibly high efficiency performance needs. However, for most people, PHP works just fine. The average weekend warrior does not need the kinds of performance gains that would be offered by an entirely compiled solution like that of HHVM. However, please note that this list is for people maintaining the php.netinfrastructure and not for general support or internals discussion. If you are seeking general support please try the php-general list or php-internals for internals discussion instead. Thanks, Sherif
