This will significantly cut down PHP's startup time. While I agree that reducing the startup time is a good thing, it is not that important as you make it. Once upon a time, I hacked the lazy-request-startup handler code. The basic principle was to execute request startups/shutdowns only, if the respective module was used during that request. Benchmarks showed no significant speedups related to avoiding all startup handlers. - Sascha
