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.
