PHP 5.1 (beta) virtual machine performance comparison |
Sebastian Bergmann has benchmarked performance for PHP 5.1 against PHP 5.0.4, 4.3.11 using the three execution models (CALL, GOTO and SWITCH) that the new virtual machine PHP offers:
Initial results show that PHP 5.1’s GOTO-based executor gives a 400% better performance than PHP 4 and PHP 5.0.
Meanwhile, as of June 8, it’s been 10 years since PHP was released by Rasmus Lerdorf. Happy Birthday PHP!
