Hiphop from Facebook don't like eval() or create_function().

Are there good open source php-CMS which work with hiphop almost out of the box? Drupal is not compatible as far as I know.

If possible, are those cms multi-site-enabled (one code base hosts several sites with different db-connection-strings).

I think that hiphop php could be a good choice for Amazon EC2 it could save a lot of money.

Thanks in advance, Tom

Back in 2009, PHP creator Rasmus Lerdorf made a presentation for the Digg folks, in which he demonstrated numerous performance profiling techniques. It takes 20 slides to get there, but he demonstrated that conventional performance profiling techniques can be just as effective at increasing performance as HipHop.

Forget HipHop. Profile your code to identify bottlenecks, then remove them.

  • I want to use the cms as a framework where i can integrate modules into it which depends heavily on the user account logged in. A little bit like facebook - i know that the database is the weak point. But given the db is no problem are there any php-cms out there? Even if there are only 10-20% per cent improvement with hiphop it is a good starting point. – simplyTom Apr 05 '11 at 21:59

    No, it's actually an *awful* starting point. It's a wrecking ball when you need a scalpel. It's a *last resort*. Please review the presentation. You can get an entirely equivalent bang for your development buck by actually understanding the code's performance characteristics. – Charles Apr 05 '11 at 22:03
