Charles du Jeu kicked-off the project about 8 years ago, to reach v6.2.0 today. As the project, amount of contributors and lines of codes grew, the need for regular performance audits raised. He was already very experienced in PHP profiling, with a blend of XDebug & WinCacheGrind.

Charles wrote an outstanding article on how he improved their overall framework and divided a simple query time by 4.6.
