Why break anything? If you need faster serializer, it's quite easy to get one, including msgpack. If it is really an issue that is important for people, we could include the package into core. But I don't see breaking BC in serialize/unserialize as a big win here. If it's really a bottleneck, a userspace package abstracting the specific serializer function could be easily created - and most clients like sessions already allow to switch serializers by configs. So BC break does not seem to be warranted here. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
