Hi,

In all likelihood you won't notice any difference in performance,
though PHP5 is supposed to be faster in certain areas. I would suggest
building your site, and then trying to optimize any bottlenecks such
as database access. For instance, cutting down on unnecessary round-
trips to the database, and perhaps using persistent connections. You
can also cache certain portions of your site that don't have to be re-
generated with every page view.
