Hi,

Someone have benchmarked SPL iterators vs for / foreach loops? What is the performance penalty?

SPL is ¨interpreted wrapper¨ on the top of C++ STL (correct me if I am wrong), and I am sure it uses STL callbacks. But unlike C++, PHP scripts are interpreted, so pointer arithmetic will work only through Zend engine which for sure adds extra performance penalty.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s)
