Unfortunately a non-trivial amount (about 15k lines), and not simple code either - it's pretty tightly written, and it requires an intimate knowledge of the internal workings of the Zend engine. A number of people have looked at it in the past and decided it was way beyond them. I don't expect there would be many people capable of writing anything similar (which is no doubt why Zend hired Dmitry away!). Cheers :-) Jonathan Oxer
