[fw-mvc] Re: Auto HTML escaper module for Zend_View.

My module doesn't parse any files. It just utilizes the power of SPL &
Predefined Interfaces.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.interfaces.php

I have just checked the performance of my view with ab command.
* Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5520 @ 2.27GHz

The results of $ ab -c 5 -n 50.

The overhead is bearable for me.
Like you, I hated using preg_* and parsing view files because I thought it
was tremendously slow.
But the truth is that trapping a view file and parsing it with
Zend_View_Stream isn't that slow. (I just have checked it!)

Then the only drawback of it is you could apply any arbitrary rules to your
view files, like writing <% ... %> instead of <?php ... ?>, <?php foreach
... ?> instead of <? loop ... ?>.
If you do so, they aren't 'PHP' any more.

But if you don't care about what your templates look like, Zend_View_Stream
is better way.
And to tell the truth, I don't care, either...
