Well, according to Dmitry (didn't test it myself) this doesn't bring
real improvements so I don't think it's needed.
I want to emphasize that this does provide real performance increases, it's
just going to depend heavily on the code structure. Some projects may see
gains, others may not. Per my original post I'm interested in getting more
testing done on various projects to see how general the gains are and what I
can do to improve them.
To also re-iterate my previous emails I do agree that this probably isn't the
best time to include this in 5.3, but would of course work to help get it in if
the majority wanted to see that happen. Considering the merge errors that
Dmitry found I think it would be preferred to get this tested more before it's
included in a major release, as I had originally intended. I appreciate the
code changes Dmitry has contributed and his initial testing.
however if possible I would be all for
having APC in RC1 next week :)
This was asked on IRC multiple times and always said something along the
lines "talk to the current APC maintainers and if they think it's worth
propose to internals" as the current APC maintainers can judge stability
and risks better and have a better knowledge about missing 5.3 support.
But nobody seemed t be that interested.
By looking at the bug tracker I see 63 open APC bugs including missing
support for 5.3 features (http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=15901) and
some crashes from that I think APC benefits from an independent release
schedule. Additionally APC doesn't offer core functionality and will
need configuration to be useful (temp path, shm method, segment
sizes, ...) so I don't think the additional installation step is that
much of additional trouble.
I'm trying to get the majority of the APC bugs resolved, but I think this will
take some time. There's also some new and undocumented functionality added to
APC as well as some major changes I plan to create in an APC-4.0 branch. So I
don't think this would be the best time to integrate it into core, especially
considering the late notice.
