which makes all of your php code run up to "25times faster."

Or maybe some day Zend will build a Perl optimizer for us that will run our applications 25 times faster.

Just don't forget there's a HUGE difference between "up to 25 times faster" and "25 times faster".

Here's a little-known secret for you: if you change all the for / foreach statements in your Perl program to map, your program will run up to 300 times faster. Now that's technically true, if you think about it, but fairly misleading!

When you state "up to N" for some value of N, you're putting a maximum limit on the speed increase, which doesn't really say anything.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
