I would agree with you there, and it would produce similar performance gains. I suspect the interview was either faked, or that the employee was misadvised as to what the project was about - and most companies come up with clever names for internal projects... David will know exactly what I mean if I say the phrase "NewNet"...<div>

I don't know whether that interview is fake or real... doesn't APC (and<br>
other op-code caches) make the point of 'hyperphp' (compiled 'php')<br>
redundant?<br>
<br>
Perhaps I'm missing something.<br>
