I swear I saw that someone had created a project page on Drupal.org for a php library that pushed a lot of Drupal's functions to native C code.

Now I can't seem to find it and I didn't see any discussion about it recently in this group.

So: does anyone remember what it's called and where it is?

Also, has anyone tried it? Did you like it?

I have no D7 projects, but out of curiosity I just threw up a fresh D7 test site and installed that php extension and patch and got 5-7% improvement on uncached req/s in ab. Interesting stuff.
