I tried ICC a couple of years ago, the results are at

Hi!

Hi!
So, the basic design of the Zend Engine is a
a stack-based interpreter for a fixed length
instruction set (76byte on a 32bit architecture),
Not exactly stack-based, it's more register-based. Number of registers
is not limited, even though most of them aren't used simultaneously.

Hi!
A buggy implementation should solve as reference? Damn'd fucking
college boys. This was an acceptable development method for PHP3.
So, you came to PHP developers list to call people names and whine about
how the thing mostly done by volunteers and used by millions sucks? Good
job!

I think they are pulled out of thin air. More specifically, I think
there are optimizations heaped upon optimizations heaped upon an
initial implementation. It seems that each new release of PHP has a
small speed improvement based on some optimization performed, but that
there has been no major re

In reality, Quercus is faster than PHP without APC, but with APC the
Quercus team themselves admit it only "roughly matches" the original
PHP in speed.

No. Smalltalk, Javascript, Lua they all have the same problem with it
and they solve it in much more clever and performant ways. Javascript
with its class free OO is even harder and with

And again we see that complexity is just that complex but not
necessarily good. As all others outperform PHP in all basic
operations.
