I would have to agree. Having watched the server CPU load while
playing with this test script it would appear that the performance
can be skewed a lot more by that than by the method you use for
squidging out the output.
As a curiosity I've also added a test using <?php print $x; ?> and
bizarrely that appears to be slightly faster than <?=$x?>.
Weird.
My guess would be that it's in the interpreter -- the look-up for
"<?" as compared to "<?php" may be delayed because of checking for
the short-tag option-on, or something similar. But, I admittedly
don't know.
However, I strongly suspect that drawing to the screen will take
longer than executing any "=" or "print" statement anyway. So
regardless of the time saved in computation, the delivery would
appear identical. It reminds me of the "hurry-up and wait" saying we
had in the Army some 50 years back.
