Before reading the thread on the idea of a PHP 5.3 branch, I had never
heard of phar, so please excuse my neophyte questions, but I couldn't
find a reference with the information. On a single website application
environment (as opposed to a shared host type of thing), what are the
performance characteristics of using a phar file to replace a largish
collection of php files?
Does the performance improve or not? does a fast-cgi based
installation make a difference?
Are stat calls for included files short-circuited since it is all
really one file? Does this improve things in windows where file calls
seem so damn slow? Linux?
Most important, how does it work with APC?
thank you for any answers or references to points of study on the web.
