[wp-hackers] 2.next - faster

[Scott johnson]

Correct.  While I hate to say "wait for people to upgrade to php5",
the opcode cache is standard (from what I know) in php5.  Waiting for
people to upgrade to php5 would save a lot of engineering effort.

Note: I hate to NOT be definitive on something like this but most of
my experience is in php 4.1.x since that's what our systems ran.  That
said when we moved to APC and were able to use it (not always) we did
see a reliable 50%+ improvement.  The reasons we didn't run it as a
standard were more us than anything else.
