Hi guys,

Anyway, after reading this weeks Weekly Zend (
http://www.zend.com/zend/week/week195.php#Heading4 ), and in particular this
line: "Marcus went on looking into `sort()`, and subsequently committed a
patch that gives the function a 15% performance increase, while supposedly
listening to an OSCON talk about performance", I thought Marcus, if you just
happened to optimize `sort()` by 15% because you happened to be working on the
function anyway, maybe you should start looking at optimizing a few other
functions as well? :) I don't know what you learned from this OSCON talk,
but if it can help boost the Zend performance (in general or of potentially
heavy functions such as `sort()` or sort-like functions) then I think we
should welcome that. So please continue applying whatever it was you did on
 `sort()` :)

Thank you,

Ron Korving

PS: This is my first post here, but I've done some work with Dmitry Stogov
on SOAP, so I know how much feedback and help can be appreciated by you guys
