Hello all,
Since we will soon be switching to the new Microsoft compiler for making
official PHP builds I have created a couple test builds to see how it
goes. There were some initial problems and we do have to adjust things
in the build to accommodate for changes of how the C++ redistributable
is packaged. We are now at a point where we have a usable build.
I encourage PHP users on Windows to download the test build from
http://edin.dk/archives/24-Second-PHP-build-using-the-new-compiler.html
and provide feedback on any issues thy might have experienced.

It is running happily here (I tested on a pc without visual studio
installed).
Strangely or not, this new binary is much slower that the current snapshot
from snaps.php.net. In a P4 2.0Ghz machine the bench.php script takes ~25
seconds with the old compiler and ~30 seconds with this new build :S

That is very interesting. So we get a significant performance penalty
with the new & improved compiler ;)

Hm, my test shows that the new compiler produces slightly (2%) faster code.
See the full output of both runs at:
