Re: Pux – High Performance Router for PHP
#2It's nice to see a PHP extension for routing to improve performance, but is it really necessary to compile the routing definition before being able to use it?

#3Nice, a long time has passed since i saw a PHP project HN.

#4If the creators are watching, I think it'd be interesting to benchmark against the current Respect/Rest.

#5> Pux tries not to consume computation time to build all routes dynamically (like Symfony/Routing). Instead, Pux compiles your routes to plain PHP array for caching, the compiled routes can be loaded from cache very fast.
symfony/routing compiles routes only once to PHP code ([1]), and then that generated code is used for matching all subsequent requests. (There are multiple route matchers, but the default one works like this.)
It's amazing that Pux manages to be close to 50x times faster.
How is this achieved ?

Well for a start they're misusing apachebench gnuplot data (which isnt time-ordered).
And "compiled to php" is kinda meaningless, it depends what it's compiled to. There is no "native routing" language.
For my two cents, if you're having to translate your solution into simpler code your solution is wrong.

Are you saying you would like an uncompiled option during development time?

#8Because routing is the bottleneck.

Probably by the php extension in c :) I would think that phalcon router will be faster too.

#10Because routing is the bottleneck.
Sometimes complex webapps in symfony can spend a significant amount of time in routing, probably not critical but well, why not lessen it.
