Speaking of "fast", I did a quick benchmark of the [[Barack Obama]] article with templates pre-expanded. It took 22 seconds in HipHop and 112 seconds in Zend, which is not bad, for a first attempt. I reckon it would do better if a few of the regular expressions were replaced with tight loops.
Hmm, does HipHop precompile regexen?
No. Its regex handling is the same as Zend's. It uses PCRE with a cache of compiled regexes, generated at runtime.
