Hi,
Analyzing PHP's routines a bit, it seems that the slowest part of a
"generic" request is populating the special arrays, $_ENV, $_GET, etc.
I was wondering if it might be possible to "tie" these arrays to a
function (if you don't understand that, look at Perl for a definition).
One could populate them as an overloaded object, and then array accesses
would work - I guess. But I would prefer a cleaner mechanism.
This would prevent a costly overhead for elements that don't really need
to be there, and yield only a slight performance cost when accessing
overloaded elements in these arrays.
