If you want great performance, consider writing an Nginx module in C. It's reaso...

Well, my mention of ZF2's performance drop was more so to supplement a seemingly regressing nature of ZF2.

I'm really not that demanding when it comes to the performance of a server side language. PHP + APC has been proven to be almost as fast as C++ (well, Facebook's Hip Hop, which is written in C++), and I'd argue that the biggest bottle necks in a web app are always the network latency and the database, so that's where I spend most of my performance tuning.

Hiphop is not the same as writing your application in c++. nothing like, not a useful comparison.

They are your latency bottlenecks, but your throughput bottleneck is almost certainly PHP.
