[FLOW3-general] Performance of FLOW3

[Robert Lemke]

Hi Thomas,

in general it's a good idea to look at how compiled code can speed up FLOW3
and we do look at HipHop and friends. Recently someone approached me for talking
about a PHP extension which would provide the AOP functionality - we'll surely
try that out at some point.

On the other hand I share the opinion of Lukas Kahwe Smith who recently wrote
a few lines about what he thinks about HipHop in real life:
