an "accelerator" is not built into PHP because after market products were created before zend created there own. to spur creativity and competition in this market, they have decided not to include the zend accelerator into the default php install.
the fact that it isn't persistent is an ATTRIBUTE, not a flaw in my mind. accessing session data and database data is just as good for web design. what if your persistent JSP program dies and loses all of the persistent data... now you have to write your own db engine basically to make that fail safe, or rely on a database in much the same way.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WRITE SAME LANGUAGE EXTENSIONS. you shouldn't have to. if something is so important that it should be a part of the system, write it in c and compile it in as a module. them you don't even have to HAVE.h files or reference them on every page.
PHP does not have the same goals that JSP does, and it does what it was intended to do much better than JSP does what it was intended to do.
i saw rasmus lerdorf's intro to php at the mysql conference... he takes a whole different view to web development that makes java's claims of speed, stability, scalability ect almost moot.
java will say, php is bad because it can't do x as good as we can, and he will summarily explain why you would never want to do x and how php can solve whatever x's method was trying to solve just as fast.
i have a function in php that i pass in values, names and a few parameters for the chart (scale, color, type, etc) and it generates and spits back the path to a brand new.PNG (or.GIF or.JPG or.BMP....)
is one line of code too "kludgey" for you?
if you do anything in C, there is a speed increase. THATS THE POINT.
yahoo is switching over to php for SOME things, but the author of php (a yahoo employee) told me personally that the stuff that requires heavy crunching or that needs to be executed more frequently and can not be cached will still be done in a C or C++ layer.
my 2003 acura's in-dash dvd navigation gives extremely accurate directions.
things i would like added: if i take a different route, remember what you said to take, and remember what i actually did take, and if its quicker, remember that and use the new route in the future.
A Mac running WebStar was hacked during the "hack-a-Mac" contest some years ago. The hack was acknowledged and the $10,000 prize was awarded. The hack ocurred due to an error with BlueWorld's Lasso, and how it served files that were not meant to be served - BlueWorld put their hands up and they, rather than the original sponsor, actually paid out the prize.
If memory serves correctly the server was hacked again sortly afterwards, but the method couldn't be verified.
There have been other WebStar security issues and there's currently a thread in the WebStar mail list about another suspected security breach.

balmer: For Red Hat (Linux) 6, they were five to ten times higher
parent: It makes you wonder where he got his numbers from
its obvious that "higher" is an int defined as 2. (5 to 10) * 2 = 10 to 20. that sounds about right.
