The problem with Roadsend is that it can't compile Wikidot. And some test apps I compiled that had many includes (like Wikidot) were slower after compiling that when using "the" PHP interpreter. This is because Roadsend really includes the included files even if they are in if (which PHP does not). This makes the binary bigger and thus slower.

I'll then order it and ship it to Torun :-)

Just kidding, Keep up the good work
