PHP API vs. PHP calling a shell script

Post by blue-j »

I was considering writing a bunch of ImageMagick code as a shell script so not only PHP but even Applescript could call them, but I'm worried about performance. Has anyone compared straight PHP running ImageMagick vs. PHP calling a shell script, even particularly on OS X Leopard? I'd love the flexibility of a shell script, but need to be able to process things quickly. I'm running an XServe with 8 cores/3GHz, with 32GB of RAM.
