Subject: [Wmfall] Facebook's HHVM performance sprint retrospective highlights MediaWiki gains
To: Staff All <wmfall@lists.wikimedia.org>


Facebook's HHVM team just completed their first performance lockdown, which they spent focusing on the performance of open-source PHP frameworks under HHVM. The achievement which they chose to highlight in their blog posts is a gain of 19% in their MediaWiki performance benchmark, which is – you guessed it – a parse of the Barack Obama article.
