Perhaps, drupal could replace symfony with phalcon for d9 :)

PS: A CMS for this framework is happening http://phalconeye.com/

Unfortunately, I don't think

Unfortunately, I don't think this will happen, because custom PHP extensions don't pass the DreamHost test.

At any rate, opcode caches and some extra RAM can bring standard PHP to near-C-level performance, for those that can use them, without requiring custom stuff that would be a non-starter with cheap shared hosting plans.

The Boise Drupal Guy!

I agree with Garrett.

I agree with Garrett. Remember that a vast majority of Drupal sites out there are installed on shared hosting, and extensions like this are generally not supported. I saw a post somewhere not to long ago that said that an estimated 90% of all Drupal installs are shared hosting, so this would absolutely destroy Drupal's popularity.
