Optimizing, Staticizing, and Caching PHP

I just finished writing my article for the next issue of PHP Magazine, and as promised, I go into greater detail about optimizing, staticizing, and caching PHP to deliver high performance in heavy traffic. In the section on optimizing source code, I cite the three major areas where I have most commonly seen bottlenecks:

  • dealing with large objects
