Given the importance that MediaWiki people have recently given to HHVM, what do you think we could/should do on the performance side of the framework?
Our main bottleneck is a social one: the limit on the number of changes per minute is not dictated by the interpreter, nor by mediawiki, but by the community. This is not true for bots that read much more than they write, but for those bots, the network connection (rather than the interpreter) is the limiting factor.
And then the question is: does it provide enough benefit for the additional maintenance cost? Based on this analysis, I'm inclined to say no.
