PHP execution is way down the list of things that add latency to first render. Images, css/js payload and complexity, sql and network latency have a much bigger bearing on the overall speed than pure php execution. That is to say don't expect a 70% boost in website rendering speed just because PHP maybe up to 70% quicker. Doesn't work like that. No doubt it'll help but it's not a miracle.

I haven't tested xenforo for this, but on my wordpress site, if a page is cached to disk, it has a time to first byte of approximately 40 milliseconds, while if it is not, time to first byte is closer to 300 milliseconds.
Now some of that is DB lookup time, but not a lot.

For sure plus you can further reduce latency by dumping cached pages to tmpfs (in memory fs) on debian. Solid page caching done right on XF will yield much better results than pure php execution improvements. Unfortunately from what I've seen fcgi caching is problematic at best today.

Have you tried adopting Redis caching on any of your sites yet?
I am using Nginx fastcgi_cache (w/ help of MattW when I started configuring it) for over a year now on my XenForo forum, without any problem.
Yes I do, using @Xon addons.

PHP 7.0.0 is now officially out. I don't likelu have time to update to it this weekend, but will do it as soon as possible. I'm using OLS/Redis/Mariadb on my server, didn't seem to have any problems with RC builds (pretty limited testing tho), so not expecting problems.

ZEND_VERSION: 3.0.0
PHP_OS : Linux - Linux php7 2.6.32-042stab102.9 #1 SMP Fri Dec 19 20:34:40 MSK 2014 x86_64

More .INIs :
CWD : /home/tmc/phpredis-php7
Extra dirs :
VALGRIND : Not usedXenforo admin panel stats from the test server
(don't know why To/From Redis lines are always empty on it tho...but other than that it seems to work.)
edit: I actually did upgrade this test installation to the RTM build since I had everything ready on it anyway...

My forum is on PHP 7 too, thanks to @eva2000 and @RoldanLT help.
Only one addon from 77 in total not working, and that is [bd] Widget Framework.

Oh noes. I guess we should ask @xfrocks if it's possible to fix. Quite the popular add-on.

If you're having the issue I think you're having, then try going to the xfrocks site and download the latest beta for that add-on. When I first tried out PHP7 RC, it also broke my Widget Framework add-on, but it was fixed when I upgraded to that beta add-on.
@Sunka, @DroidOne here you two go, I found the add-on: https://xfrocks.com/widget-framework/threads/bd-widget-framework-v2-6-0-beta.313/
