| 26 | | Some symfony developers like to use `syck`, which is a YAML parser packaged as a PHP extension, as an alternative to the symfony internal parser. It is faster, but symfony's caching system already minimizes the overhead of YAML parsing, so the benefit is nonexistent in a production environment. You should also be aware that `syck` isn't completely mature yet, and that it may cause errors when you use it. However, if you are interested, install the extension ([http://whytheluckystiff.net/syck/](http://whytheluckystiff.net/syck/)), and symfony will use it automatically. |
