I really don't think you need to understand PHP internals at the same level as Java to get performant code. Most of your performance issues are either A) obvious (long loops with expensive bodies), or B) outside of PHP (i.e., the DB, network calls, disk access). The core language of PHP is very minimalist. -- Some people ask for gifts here.
