Installed Quercus in GlassFish. 2. Went to CPU game website and took a bunch of tests. In particular this one is very slow on Quercus and fast on Zend's: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=nbody&lang=php&id=1 Try yourself.

Quercus is faster than even Zend PHP. Quercus, being 100% java and acting as just another java servlet can take advantage of the following java strengths out of the box: multithreading, thread pooling, pooled database connections, incredibly fine grained performance tuning of the JVM it runs under and massive scalability. On a personal note, the selling points above combined with the fact that I could integrate into my applications my own file upload servlet based on the fantastic Apache Commons FileUpload library (as opposed to being stuck with the lame and resource intensive C-PHP upload functions) had me sold and I haven't looked back. I've been developing with Quercus PHP for over a year now and couldn't be happier. Not so. Quercus is faster than even Zend PHP.
