As Robert said, if you have heavy Object Oriented applications (properly
coded), PHP5 is likely to speed up your application, in some cases,
remarkably. It also gains in other cases, such as when using certain
template engines, where the cached templates are a lot faster, for
instance Flexy and Sigma, which I've found were lots faster on PHP5.
