PHP OO slowness is (not) bogus?

August 29, 2006

So this guy, let's call him Ronald, told me about a bug report someone filed against PHP 5.1.6:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38630

The bug report includes a link to my benchmarks I wrote against and early version of PHP 5:

http://destiney.com/benchmarks/db_insert_select

The funny thing is the PHP developer who responded thinks it's "normal" for OO style PHP to be 3+ times slower than regular procedural PHP.

I'm astounded no progress is being made to make OO PHP faster.

Book Recommendation:

C: The Complete Reference gives you full details on C99, the New ANSI/ISO Standard for C. You'll get in-depth coverage of the C language and function libraries as well as all the newest C features, including restricted pointers, inline functions, variable-length arrays, and complex math. This jam-packed resource includes hundreds of examples and sample applications. Overall, this is one of my favorite books.
