OO is slower then procedural. You can test that out yourself or look at this article where the guy did a very basic test. Maybe they will fix the speed problem by the time php5 comes around. http://www.phpbeginner.com/columns/demitrious/objects/8

But so far the programs I have been writing in OO supported languages have been written and scripted on an "as is needed" basis... i.e. I have the basic idea then I simply start scratching down methods/functions I have never sat down and drawn a single UML diagram on a project that I am about to do... How many of us have done so? Could some one please point out another feasible advantage of OO programming a part from the fact that I would make someone else's work easier by using this style of programming... Spike...
