title: Is there a point to minifying PHP?
body: <p>I know you <em>can</em> minify PHP, but I'm wondering if there is any point. PHP is an interpreted language so will run a little slower than a compiled language. My question is: would clients see a visible speed improvement in page loads and such if I were to minify my PHP?</p>
  
  <p>Also, is there a way to compile PHP or something similar?</p>
