There are also several PECL extension for PHP to cache the compiled
bytecode (PHP code is compiled first and then interpreted by the ZE).
One of these caches (APC) will most likely be part of PHP 6.

Huh? I use hundreds of global and class constants. This is definitely
not a performance hit, there are "better" ways to waste CPU time.

Such mixing is possible in other languages as well. And it's always the
developer who decides if he wants to make use of it or not. Of course
you can also properly separate business from presentation logic.

Also great for bigger projects. Of course like in all languages you have
to know what you're doing and know the tools you're using.
