Agreed - fantastic news for PHP in general.

As far as Wordpress, in my experience the number of db queries is really a bigger problem than the PHP processing. A factory-default install with no plugins runs 30 queries on every home page load. With a fancy theme and a few plugins it can be over 100 queries per page! A caching plugin is pretty much essential for any Wordpress site.
