Not to mention, this is PHP, which is still a lame scripting language that needs to be interpreted.

Depends on how you use PHP. It's not just for serving dynamic web pages. There are projects using PHP for desktop applications and such.
You're right, though, I'd much rather be doing this in C or Perl. Speeder asked for PHP though, so I obliged.

Machine level is the only way to go, even Perl is annoying and interpreted.

No it is not. Please read #1:

@Steven why did you use a static variable in global scope inside the while loop? I see no real reason to use it. You can declare it before the while and it will still be declared once.

Perl is incredibly powerful. I wouldn't write it off simply because it's "annoying" and interpreted.

Habit/style reasons.

Well, you can rewrite MyBB in assembly then

Just convert it.
That does not convert into MIPS but C++ and then machine code.

Ah I see. Because technically static and a global variable in this case should take the exact same space and the exact same resources when being accessed (read or write).
No offense to people that like Perl, but the syntax for Perl is so god damn confusing that I can't even make heads or tails of it.
