How can the performance of executing Kornshell scripts with PHP be optimized?

To optimize the performance of executing Kornshell scripts with PHP, you can use the `shell_exec` function instead of `exec` or `system` as it is more efficient for running shell commands. Additionally, you can consider caching the results of the script if it is being called frequently to reduce the overhead of executing the script each time.

// Execute Kornshell script using shell_exec
$output = shell_exec('/path/to/your/script.ksh');

// Use the $output variable as needed
echo $output;
