PHP 7 Performance

PHP 7 has shown to be significantly faster than the previous versions. Here are a few stats:

• Official PHP benchmarks show that PHP 7 allows the system to execute twice as many requests per second in comparison with the PHP 5.6, at almost half of the latency.
• Christian Vigh also published a PHP performance comparison in which he found that PHP 5.2 was 400% slower than PHP 7.
