    PHP 5.3: Up to 30% performance win

    PHP

    Dmitry posted results of performance test comparing PHP 5.2 and 5.3 to internals which are impressive numbers:

    • Drupal 20% faster
    • Qdig 2% faster
    • typo3 30% faster
    • wordpress 15% faster
    • xoops 10% faster


    Up to 30% performance win by simply updating PHP! Please help us with the quality assurance and test your applications using a 5.3 snapshot - we can't cover every usecase, you can!

    And again as a sidenote: 5.2.6RC2 is out, please test that, too :-)

    It seems as though PHP is getting faster and faster. Not so long ago there was talk about the speed boost gained by upgrading from PHP5.2.1.

    P.S. Is your layout intended to be this 'odd'?

    Jonathan,

    well, we always try to improve our releases. For benchmarks: See also Sebastians results at
    http://sebastian-bergmann.de/archives/745-Benchmark-of-PHP-Branches-3.0-through-5.3-CVS.html

    And about the design here: Yeah, I should sit down and improve it, it's somewhere on my TODO.

    Yeah, without complex CSS it's even faster! ;-)

    How much of this boost was made by the native MySQL driver?

    Is there any ETA yet on PHP 5.3? I'm developing on a snapshot (and loving the LSB) but it'd be great to have some idea when to expect a release, and the only (vague) suggestions I can find were for Q1 2008.

    Thanks!
