#19335 [NEW]: Garbage collection performance issue. gc_probability should be float not int

From: tomek@allegro.pl Operating system: FreeBSD 4.5 PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Garbage collection performance issue. gc_probability should be float not int We're running a rather large PHP site (97 million pageviews in August). We try to minimize the number of open sessions by using session_start only if required. However we still have ~25,000 open sessions peak. With gc_probability set to 1, our server dies. Currently I solved it by setting gc_probability to 0 and running find -amin +10 -delete from cron, however it would be nice if gc_probability could have a float value (say 0.1 or 0.01).
