In the unlikely event that you ever need code like that in a real-life
application, write that part of your code in C as a Module for
Apache/PHP.
A cache like the Zend cache would maybe help a LITTLE as it will parse
it all to byte-code only once. Though I suspect it won't help that
much, as it will still have run through that byte-code over and over.
Do feel free to write all your web server application in C if
performance is your primary consideration. :-)
