YouTube PHP API Besides Zend

I'm currently using the Zend Framework YouTube PHP Api but under high load Zend just doesn't perform that well. Even when implementing caching each Youtube Video object is about 23kb compressed. I'd rather switch to another implementation of the API. Are there any other maintained implementations? I've searched but it's a little difficult开发者_运维知识库 to find.

I recently ported my CodeIgniter YouTube API implementation to regular PHP. You can find it here: https://github.com/jimdoescode/Zendless-PHP-YouTube-API

I'm not sure google has a non-Zend PHP implementation of the YouTube API. If you're looking for more speed, I would try a different language. Python may be a good way to go, though the other implementations are here:
