PHP is rarely the bottleneck.

There are people who actually like programming. I dont understand why they like programming.

I don't like programming. It's tedious.

I actually hate programming, but I love solving problems.

For all the folks getting excited about my quotes. Here is another - Yes, I am a terrible coder, but I am probably still better than you :)

PHP is rarely the bottleneck.

I'm not a real programmer. I throw together things until it works then I move on. The real programmers will say Yeah it works but you're leaking memory everywhere. Perhaps we should fix that. I'll just restart Apache every 10 requests.
