Oh, come on. Did you see the benchmarks? This is CPU-bound code, like multiplying numbers 100 000 times over. This has nothing to do with your typical use case.

And, yeah, performance improvements are always advertised.

I think a lot of people missed this. It's not the usual PHP workload for usual/basic web dev.
