Comment (by swissspidy):

 @Otto42 Sure, please see https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/24/i18n-
 performance-analysis/ for an in-depth analysis of various solutions
 including the PHP file approach, covering extensive benchmarks and
 comparisons. See also https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/09/05/call-for-
 testing-performant-translations/ as linked in the ticket description.

 tl;dr: instead of MO files, WP will load PHP files returning arrays
 containing the translations, which is much faster and benefits from
 OPcache as well.

 We‘re targeting a 6.5 merge with all the necessary blog posts etc. This
 ticket here is for bringing this on the radar for meta early on.
