Hi,

Take it at face value but I get the following results with the new VM vs. 
5.0.x on the bench.php script I commited to php5/Zend/tests.

PHP 5.0.x        PHP 5.1.x
37.5secs    vs   29secs

You know I'm not a big believer in synthetic benchmarks but it's still 
quite nice.

Hi Thies,

I'll see which parts of your patch can be adapted for 5.1.x. I think the 
var lookup is probably the most substantial one but I will probably 
implement it slightly different. I'll mail internals@ when I have something.
As I mailed you, I tried the zval_copy_ctor() and zval_dtor() optimization 
of yours but didn't get any improvement. Can you try and run the patch I 
sent you to see if you get different results?
I'm also attaching it again, in case others want to see if it changes anything.

Andi

The script gets nuked when buildconf is run (since it matches *.php in
the .cvsignore file).
Not sure how to fix that :-)
