HHVM & Pagespeed on Siteground hosting

[MTUK]

Siteground have an option to enable HHVM https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/supercacher/hhvm.htm
Do you development guys think this WILL actually improve load times/speed ?

Verses php 5.x probably, verses php 7.x depends on the application, but unlikely to be a large increase

PHP7 got huge speed improvements which pretty much negate the need for HHVM for most sites:
