      <description><![CDATA[<p>
In two <a href="http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/7759">previous</a> <a href="http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/7768">posts</a>, the AlternateInterior blog looked at working with threading in PHP. They continue along this path with <a href="http://www.alternateinterior.com/2007/05/benchmarking-php-threads.html">this new post</a> today - benchmarking some of their threading techniques.
</p>
<blockquote>
All threads can now both hear and report on conditions. A problem with the original send/receive mechanism made threads hang the controlling thread while long operations were occurring.
</blockquote>
<p>
After updating some of <a href="http://www.alternateinterior.com/2007/05/benchmarking-php-threads.html">their HVAC class</a> to make it a little easier to understand/use, they ran some benchmarks on running processes two different ways - multithreaded and sequential.
</p>
<p>
The package is <a href="http://www.alternateinterior.com/threads/threads.20070504.tgz">available for download</a> if you'd like to work with it/run the tests yourself.
