Yeah, right thinking, I'm disappointed without Drupal 8 after waiting all these years. Wordpress could be where at PHP5.x native speed if they are on PHP7.

After that tweaking, I think you might be interested in SIMD for Javascript and hopefully, WebAssembly will make PHP even speedier performance.

Wow, SIMD.js looks neat, thank you for pointing me to this! They even has Intel involved with this.

WebAssembly looks very very promising too.
