Yep, we have what we have now, so lets take it as the basis. I do not shy
to take that effort as well, not a question at all.

Yeah, there is almost no diff if you look here
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ostc/pftt/perf/results-20140411-masterr6c2f7bc-str_size_and_int64raa0c920.html
(that's also linked from the RFC). Many scripting languages do support
that like python and ruby and seem to have no harm. AFAIR Python even
implements int64 on 32 bit platforms. So IMHO it really makes sense too
keep both as then we have a balance between the functionality and
performance, both will have a gain and both can get further improvement in
the future.
Best regards
