No it is not being removed but this could have been a very big thing
for mod_perl. Can someone find out more details as to why PHP was
preferred over mod_perl it cant be just on a whim. I might be biased
but considering the fact that PHP and mod_perl were neck to neck the
cons should have made up for any slipup in performance.

Also how does one go about justifying the fact that Ioncube cache is
doing a better cacheing than any mod_perl based solution ??

I am assuming when Yahoo did their research they optimized everything
to the maximum possible they werent out to do a marketting propaganda
now were they ....
