[Phpwm] hyperphp

[David Caunt]

I'd expect a compiled application to be faster than an opcode cache (which
is intermediate) but I have doubts about the existence of hyperphp. That
said, Facebook have contributed to memcache and other open source projects
in the past. Given that most of Facebook is cached, it seems unlikely that
they would try to optimise a language. Languages don't scale!
