Hi Gregory,

        Do you have any benchmarks that compare the speed between trying to
include/require files NOT in a phar archive, compared with calling
include/require for files inside a phar archive?

I have a large PHP application with about 5000 PHP files and we make use
of the __autoload() functionality and Smarty extensively, each page load
probably includes between 5-100 files itself, so the speed of this
operation is crucial. 

It would be great if we could bundle our entire application as a single
phar archive, it would also make automatic in-place upgrades/roll-backs
that much easier, but if the day-to-day operation takes a significant
speed hit, it obviously won't be worth it.

Thanks.
