    The changelog says they've made hash tables a lot faster; these are used for all types of arrays in PHP. This should make quite a bit of difference, but I couldn't see anyhthing else that was faster...

    (mostly bugfixes AFAICS)

    In case you were wondering who is Brett Brewer, named on the PHP changelog, I did a Google search, and found that he's Co-President and Chief Operating Officer of a company name EUniverse.

    I was mostly joking. Just letting off steam after having tried to compile it with Cygwin and having it fail miserably, and I don't own Visual C++ so I can't compile it that way (which is the recommended method). ;)
