How fast (slow) is Quercus PHP on Resin Open Source, and not Resin Professional?

Smart people at Caucho quickly point out that Quercus is 3x-5 times faster than direct mod_php (without APC). But, delving deeper into the documentation, you'll see that the PHP-to-bytecode compilation is only available in Resin Pro ($ 699).

What would I like to know how fast (i.e. how slow) is Resin Open Source to execute PHP code?

Yes, I know that I can just check it, it depends on the application, it depends on the environment, blah blah blah. But I just need one anecdotal piece of data from anyone who has done this before, whether it is statistically significant or not ... it doesn't matter!

Quercus is not dependent on Resin (Open Source or Commercial), and it is open source.

We run Quercus on Jetty and Tomcat, and in most of the applications we use, it is at least 2 times faster than mod_php, not to mention all the security benefits of applications on the JVM.

Commercial resin is indeed even faster, but since most of our customers did not want to buy an additional license, Tomcat is good enough for most of them. It’s very convenient for us, since we don’t need to use Apache HTTPD before Tomcat, so the maintenance costs are quite low.
