[development] Note that PHP arrays are fast

[Bèr Kessels]

Its slightly off topic, buw while we are at it, I benchmarked if ($foo) 
{bar()} versus $foo ? bar () : null;

if ($foo) {
  $bar 
}
is about 7% faster then 
$foo ? $bar : null; 
The reason is, obviously, that the second always needs an else. And if() else 
statement is just as fast as the $foo? : ; way. 
We should avoid $foo ? checks that need no else at all costs, imo.
