Hi,
Currently PHP's benchmarks are very poor. The PHP interpreter is only timed
against bench.php. Sadly, this doesn't make use of the majority of PHP's
features, principally OO, but also includes and variable-variables. We'd
like to help rectify that, and have created an RFC with some initial ideas.
It's available at http://wiki.php.net/rfc/better_benchmarks
The idea at first is not to do something perfect the first time. Rather,
we'd like to have something quickly, so as not to lose momentum. A good
first step might be porting some javascript benchmarks to PHP. Based on that
experience, we can go about the larger and more difficult task of porting
some web-apps to make representative benchmarks.
Comments, criticisms and volunteers especially welcome,
Nuno Lopes & Paul Biggar

Sounds like a great idea. I'll add it to the wiki.
Thanks,
