Do we need to change existing namespace-free code in order to avoid any potential performance penalties? Has anyone benchmarked the changes yet to see if the performance penalty, if any, is actually significant for some set of common usage cases? If it's too soon to answer that last question then perhaps the whole performance debate is a bit premature. > > -- > Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect > [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ > (408)253-8829 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Regards, Marshall
