Is Quercus a viable replacement for PHP in Java environments?

Question

For anyone stumbling upon this question who doesn\'t know what Quercus is - it is an implementation of PHP done in Java.

For a project that I am currently working on

Answer 1

PHP performance will be good only in professional version of quercus. Because the professional version compiling the PHP code as java byte code. So it will be faster.

But the open source edition is still using the PHP interpreter as stated in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_Server

It seems there will be no performance boost up in open soruce edition.
