Few points, PHP, even compiled to C++ still remains dynamic language
and that means each time you call "a+b" it should check the types
of a and b and see if they match. This is major performance killer.


So you'd never get a real boost with "Compiled PHP" like you can
have when you develop in C++ natively.

What do you mean stopping? Stop the development?

No :-)...

It depends on the nature of the bugs. You can ask the 

users there how fast bugs can be fixed,
generally it depends on their urgency.

As far as I remember all critical bugs were
fixed very fast.


But this is open source project and its developers
has their own priorities.

If you'll need some specific problems to get fixed
you can always request a help for a fee.

CppCMS is server side, you can implement many techniques
for Chat systems. The basic examples you had seen use long
polling and they generally work with all modern (and not
even so modern like IE6) browsers.


So client side depends on you. AFAIR the 

json-rpc chat example works in any browser.
