===== Micro-benchmarks for the latest release =====
The first benchmark measures behavior of Phalanger and PHP in specific very often used operations:

//(Click on the image for full version)//

The Y axis shows time required to complete the operation. Each operation was performed 10M times in a loop on  //Pentium M Dothan 1.8GHz/2MB cache, Windows XP//. This test compares standard PHP implementation, Phalanger 1.0 (running on .NET 1.1) and the latest Phalanger 2.0 (on .NET 2.0). The X axis shows tested elementary operations.


===== PhpBB running on Phalanger =====
The application benchmark compares requests per second that were handled by Phalanger and PHP (on Microsoft Windows running IIS). The application used for the test is well-known PhpBB forums.

Horizontal axis denotes the number of parallel requests, vertical axis denotes the number of requests processed by all threads in one second (on average). For the details see the [[phpbb-benchmark|phpBB: Creating communities twice as fast]] article.
