[PHP-DEV] compiled modules VS. code in php
Hi, I apologize in advance if this is not the place to ask. I just figured, I'd get a better answer from this group. Is there a performance increase by compiling your code into php (either dynamic or static) as opposed to writing complex code in php. Note: this bit of code would be used by every request in the application, reads many files and does a lot of string parsing. thanks, colin -- Colin McDonald - [EMAIL PROTECTED] home: http://nexus.carleton.ca/~colin/ public key: http://nexus.carleton.ca/~colin/pubkey.asc fingerprint: http://nexus.carleton.ca/~colin/fingerprint.asc -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Generally, a perfect C implementation will always be quicker than a PHP implementation, because the scripting engine has its overhead. However, whether or not you write perfect C code is a different question :) Zeev At 16:51 19/11/2001, colin mcdonald wrote: Hi, I apologize in advance if this is not the place to ask.

It's my impression that an average PHP script will run faster on a heavily loaded apache server than a compiled executable will get loaded! I've got no exact data confirming this, it's just that I noticed that my sites went consederably faster on PHP than in compiled form. Take this as a compliment, guys! -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
