Well the Twig C Extension is going more or less in the same direction, even though in a less hardcore way :)
I haven't tried it yet but as Rasums pointed out a couple of years ago during the Drupalcon Copenaghen, there's a lot of room for performance improvements by bringing some php code to c, especially for the rendering part(at least that was true for Drupal, but the fact that some functions of Twig have been ported makes me quite confident it's the same here, too). Clearly the more C the better in terms of performances, but I think it would be a little overwhelming to rewrite Sf2 in C.. Caching is a way cheaper alternative for making anything faster :) Still, doing some benchmarks might point out a few bottlenecks that might benefit a lot from some C code rather than plain old php.
