I bet a compiled version of PHP is simply the php parsed piggy-backing the script(s) and running them in-memory.

Even if it is not that, it still all goes through PHP functions.

Learn C if you want to code something as fast as C.
nathan. a binary will ALWAYS run faster then a parsed script.

with that being said, i agree with you, if it is effiency he is after C/C++ are amoung his few options.
