如何优化 PHP 中的 Dijkstra 代码？

Question

I specify this question for PHP source code, where I have a source code for Dijkstra written in PHP, when I apply this algorithm on Graph consists of baout 7000 nodes, the process is becoming extremly slow, and consumes a huge space of memory about 1 GigaByte !

I know there are other questions about how to optimize Dijkstra.. But I want to know if I have implemented Dijkstra algorithm in C as PHP extension, does that solve the problem? Is there any other suggestions??!

EDIT

source code for Dijkstra algorithm..

PHP is an interpreted language as is not as efficient as java, C or other compiled languages. Running it as an extension would be much faster.
