PHP execution dominates for real test cases, and HipHop provides a massive speedup. See the previous HipHop thread. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2011-April/052679.html Unfortunately, users refuse to write articles consisting only of hundreds of kilobytes of plain text, they keep adding references and links and things. So we don't really care about the parser's "top speed". -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
