I am running on one Linux server which has PHP built statically; the
CLI and Apache modules are both over 5.5MB. On another where it is
built dynamically they are closer to 1.2MB.
Is there any data on the performance tradeoffs of static vs. dynamic
builds? I understand the factors (static eliminates the overhead to
load needed libraries, dynamic reduces memory footprint) but I wonder
if there is any real-world data on when one is better than the other.
We are using PHP primarily as an Apache module, not CGI or CLI.
Thanks,
