Robert Peake has a brief posting over on his weblog today concerning the possible topic of his next article - that "PHP runs heavy".

Having ploughed through writing my upcoming article for PHP Magazine on "Farming PHP" I am still motivated to think deeply about PHP in the enterprise and, specifically, under high volumes of web traffic. Having come through several industries in a variety of capacities where PHP is being used effectively for business-critical operations, I am used to responding to concerns about PHP in the enterprise.

Dealing with this consideration really comes down to three points: optimizing, caching, and staticizing. Armed with a solid benchmarking tool like ab, these three principles comprise a solid foundation for running PHP in the enterprise for very high volume sites.

So, keep watch here for more information on the work for his new article here...
