In all honesty, very few people will see any sort of performance gain out of HipHop. You have to have millions and millions of visitors concurrently for you to even start worrying about CPU usage. You'll be better served optimizing your input/output (database calls, caching, etc).

In the short term, you are 100% right. But beyond the short term, HipHop is a potential solution that can be employed and looks very promising to those of us that have built high performance solutions and are always looking for better ways to do it.

Additionally, HipHop only transforms a subset of the PHP language. Not sure if all of CI fits within this subset they have selected, the developers have said they only left out features that weren't commonly used (eval() for example).

That said, is there an alternative to eval? Is it something that must be there?

Never mind. I found a way around it.
