Anyone use compilers (linux based or Windoze) and which do you use?

Looking for something free (best) or low cost as we are doing some
investigation on what methods are best for some of the stuff we have,
and I'm thinking a compiled PHP app should run faster.

There's the free eaccelerator. It doesn't spit out compiled php code,
but it does have the same effect by caching the generated byte-code.


i wonder if OP is talking about compiling down to binary. there are such
things
available for java
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
albiet older jvms.
i dont know of anything like this available for php; but remember, in
general,
compiling an interpreted language will result in different behavior than
running
it through the interpreter.
