Well, your speed improvements would come about if Zend stopped promoting their Zend Accelerator, which is a completely separate entity to PHP and requires some hard-cash to use it, and introduced caching as standard. Can you see that happening? I can't. But at least you can implement caching on your own. Whereas Python (I believe), amongst other popular and not-so-popular languages come with caching as standard. PHP really is the odd one out. It would most certainly speed PHP up by at least 500%. Happy days!
