In index.php. Typically, I actually set it in my .htaccess or vhost
using apache's SetEnv directive, and then try to pull it from there.
So, for instance, I might have the following line in my .htaccess:
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
Then, in my index.php:
defined('APPLICATION_ENV')
|| define('APPLICATION_ENV',
isset($_SERVER['APPLICATION_ENV'])
? $_SERVER['APPLICATION_ENV']
: 'production');

Not really. parse_ini_file() is actually very fast -- typically faster
than parsing XML, and only slightly slower than include()ing a file with
a native PHP array.

Thanks -- this has been reported previously, and we'll be updating for
the next site refresh.
