I understand this, and somewhat expect Parrot to become slower. Apart from that, I have a feeling that the fundamental difference of using a register machine model for the virtual machine instead of the ''traditional'' stack machine approach will give Parrot -- and hence Perl 6 -- a huge performance advantage. > That said - if you're using PHP because of performance, you're > choosing the wrong language.

I chose PHP for its ease of use and its sex appeal. I don't mind PHP to be slower than Perl or Python that much. But what I would not mind would be the Zend Engine 2 beeing slower than the Zend Engine 1...
