Comment(by nbachiyski):

 I managed to get your ideas for parsing into a new patch, which almost
 retains the speed of mo3.php, but is still object-oriented. Several plugin
 authors really liked the objects idea and are already using it in their
 plugins.

 See the patch here: http://trac.glotpress.org/changeset/293

 On caching: on WordPress.com we have tried caching the read MO file and it
 didn't work out so well. Since this usually involves transmitting the data
 over a network it both filled the bandwith with translations and wasn't
 that much faster.

 On using php gettext extension: we haven't revisited it in a long time. It
 used do depend on server locales and too few servers had it installed,
 that's why we haven't incorporated it. Also, there were problems with old
 gettext versions.
