Mike Wallner has thrown together some stats for the latest edition of the pecl/http package to test its response performance.   The results surprised me, because it clearly shows that the performance drop for starting the PHP engine and doing the neccessary negotiation to provide caching is not that bad.   There's a chart of the results as well as a full PDF with all of the stats the graph maps out. He includes the legend to make the graph easier to understand.

Jitterbit 1.1 is a major release for the Jitterbit open source integration product. Jitterbit is an open source integration tool that delivers a quick and simple way to design, configure, test, and deploy integration solutions. It supports many document types and protocols: XML, web services, database, LDAP, text, FTP, HTTP(S), file.   Additions to 1.1 include:  Support for LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) - Using Jitterbit you can now integrate enterprise systems with corporate directory services.  Hosted Web Services - Prior to 1.1 Jitterbit could only  consume outside Web Services.  With the latest release users can host and expose their own Web Services securely to the outside world.  This feature is stable, however, it will see increased functionality and more intuitive usability in future versions.  Web Services Cookie support -   Certain Web ervices require cookies for storing session information.  Support for this  functionality is new in 1.1.  XML Any - Support for the XML Any is now included. The  element enables users to extend an XML document with elements not specified by the schema. We will continue to expand our XML and Web Services support.  Encryption for Jitterpaks - Jitterpaks can now be password  encrypted to protect sensitive data contained in the pre-packaged integration.  In addition to these major additions, over 50 bugs were closed in this release.  Jitterbit 1.1 comes with revamped Documentation which is available in both the Application as well as online in the Jitterbit Wiki.
