An interesting thought provoking talk. Much to consider on how simple changes to code could improve performance, let along just using a newer version of PHP to help!
The talk was well presented and the slides excellent to help guide the talk
Interesting talk, though delving into the innards of PHP is possibly better suited to a half-day tutorial rather than a one hour time-slot. It is heavy material, and a short summary doesn't always do it justice, or allow the time for it all to sink in.... but a conference talk can often be just a taster to spur us on to our own investigations... the brief interactions with Sarah at the back of the room did add a certain degree of amusement to it all
Another great talk by Davey, although I enjoyed this one much more than his previous talk PHP5.NEW as this one was of a much higher level technically. I have (or should I say had) very little understanding of how PHP's opcache and compiler actually operated until this talk. However, now I feel much more prepared and empowered to actually go out and take a look at what my code is actually doing behind the scenes. Thanks.
I really enjoyed this talk, perfect to get my brain back up and running after the one or few beverages the night before.
I probably would have swapped this talk with Daveys Saturday one tho as it would have appealed to a few more people I think not being the hangover slot.
I think it's rare that it's going to be useful as bottlenecks are usually elsewhere, but this is something I personally find fascinating. Agree with just about everyone else, this talk shouldn't have been scheduled for 9 on Sunday!
Given the hangover slot, Davey did a great job presenting rather technical content in a clear fashion. It might not have been for everyone, but it was nice to go back to my university days.

Excellent talk if a little heavy for a 9am slot.
A good talk, even if it was the hangover slot.
Great talk, very interesting and insightful.

I really enjoyed this talk. It was easy enough to follow although you've covered some interesting points on internals.
