Did you attend the Zend webinar? Was it any good? Did you learn anything new about PHP?
sounds like they are just trying to sell their products. i can increase performance with nginx + php-fpm + memcache + (apc/xcache). i would also bet my bottom dollar that it would out preform the setup they have listed above.

I wouldn’t mind checking this out, but my timezone doesn’t really allow it. :(
Do you know if it will be replayed after it has finished?
