quality of quercus translation?

Question

have someone used quercus to translate php into bytecode? if you got a big php application, will the translation be flawless? it sounds to me very impossible to just translate everything without error in code like that.

but they claim on their web page that mediawiki and other popular websites (joomla to i think) use it.

and my php code got a lot of procedural code. how will that be translated to a class in java? sounds very impossible!

it would be good if it was true. someone that has tried it?

Answer 1

this guy has drupal running on quercus. drupal makes very little use of oop and yet it seems to be running fine under quercus. apparently there are even some performance benefits of doing it this way - probably associated with the difference between compiled code vs interpreted code.

Answer 2

Seems like a hard way of optimising, why not run APC? you'll get similar performance benefits.
