There is no proposed patch to affect all these changes. There are fine ways to print errors that don't necessitate having them loaded at run time. They could be in a dbm file, or even a flat file hierarchy and loaded on demand. This would not be as fast as a hash table, but when you're actually printing errors, a slight overhead seems acceptable (to me, ymmv) On Monday, November 25, 2002, at 10:27 PM, Ilia A. wrote:

Why would this need to kill your performance if you're not throwing errors?
Because errors need to be loaded into memory by some mechanism, stored in a hash table? Meaning that during startup I will be penalized for this process. Hash table has it own overhead as well meaning that PHP memory usage will increase, for a server running 200-300 apache children constantly even a small increase will count. This will also make PHP shell scripting impractical due to the high start costs of a PHP binary. Ilia
