php - Compiling From Source vs. Pre-compiled Windows Binaries -


so in past i've used pre-compiled windows php binaries this guide caught attention.

that brings me this:

  • why want compile php sources when binaries available them?
  • is there performance bonus should aware of?
  • if so, significant enough amount should take notice?

for reference, use php cli applications bulk data processing , website info collection.
system specs: windows 7 x64, 6gb ram, intel q6600 (2.4ghz x 4).

there 3 reasons can think of compiling php rather using binary build on windows:

  • you need compiled in extension or compile-time-option not come standard available binaries

  • you short of memory , need leaner php executable devoid of extensions not use

  • you want binary compiled processor/environment gain small performance boost might achieve (possible if have unusual setup)

otherwise, stick binary.
