Willem, how much of the performance improvement was related to Smarty templates being compiled to C++ vs. the application itself?

We did not measure this separately. With Hiphop, you compile a bunch of PHP files to a binary executable file. Once you have this file, you cannot load any new PHP files like you can with vanilla PHP. So including the Smarty templates is kind of mandatory.
