Bug #11444: PHP puts heavy load on apaches httpd

From: martin@bugs.unl.edu.ar Operating system: Solaris 7 PHP version: 4.0.5 PHP Bug Type: *Web Server problem Bug description: PHP puts heavy load on apaches httpd I had php-4.0.4pl1 on one of my Solaris machines (SPARC), and was programing on my personal workstation (Solaris 8 on SPARC both) on PHP-4.0.6-dev (downloaded 2 days after the branch changed from 5 to 6) and PHP worked great with apache. When I had to pass the programs I had on my workstation, I said, lets update PHP to the 4.0.5 version, so there are no problems. The problems appeared. When I started entering pages on the server where there php scripts the load started growing. These are some outputs that I have after executing these scripts: root@ultra31 /space/pruebas # w 5:30pm up 75 day(s), 23:32, 2 users, load average: 6.29, 5.13, 4.71 User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what root pts/0 4:24pm 17:22 bash postgres pts/3 4:53pm 37 -bash root@ultra31 /space/pruebas # ps -ef -o pid,ppid,pcpu,pmem,ruser,comm | grep http 18344 18322 0.4 1.9 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 18343 18322 0.0 1.1 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 18342 18322 18.9 1.9 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 18494 18322 0.1 1.5 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 18324 18322 9.9 1.9 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 5260 18322 0.1 0.9 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 18326 18322 8.0 1.9 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 18322 1 0.0 1.6 root /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 18327 18322 0.4 1.9 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 18323 18322 0.1 1.9 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 18325 18322 18.6 1.9 nobody /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd root@ultra31 /space/pruebas # This also happened with a page that only has the phpinfo() function.
