We present some simple product benchmarks below, and show both the time to compile a medium sized project (phpMyAdmin-2.3.2) and to hit the main page with the popular Apache Bench benchmarking tool on a local machine. The tests using ionCube and Zend use production copies, not evaluations. SG is an evaluation copy of version 2.0.

Encoding phpMyAdmin-2.3.2	Execution

As is shown, the high performance ionCube Loader and compiled code encoding techniques allow ionCube encoded files to execute significantly faster than original source and also other encoded files. In addition, the ionCube encoder also achieves the fastest encoding performance of the Unix encoders.
