Phoronix: PHP Lands Preload Feature, Boosting Performance In Some Cases 30~50%

PHP developers unanimously approved and already merged support for the new "preloading" concept for this web server language. PHP preloading basically allows loading PHP code that persists as long as the web server is running and that code will always be ready for each subsequent web request, which in some cases will dramatically speed-up the PHP performance on web servers...

I can't wait to get into that, that's an awesome boost in speed

Setting "opcache.revalidate_freq=0" gives you practically the same benefit, so you could get the boost today if you want to

This is pretty cool.
Will you be able to have state that survives a request?
Like a singleton or static class that survives?
Maybe dependency injection with transient/scoped/singleton?
Maybe an object pool? Such as database connection pool? or HTTP client pool?
Maybe background tasks? Maybe async/await?

I sure hope not

yeah, that's already done. I am sure that the major PHP frameworks will use this to great benefit in the very near future
