I'm speaking from personal experience. When I upgraded from PHP 4
to 5, my PHP-powered sites got a nice speed boost. With PHP 4,
I was using an accelerator, which doesn't work with PHP 5. PHP 5
is as fast, or faster, than PHP 4 with the accelerator. Without
the accelerator, PHP 5 is much faster, on my sites.
