Possible it just not implemented... Anyway .. if this is true for memory allocation, can we say something about performance loss if you change this behaviour? Why I'm asking is simply exmplained: php in apache and php on command line are two different worlds. On apache side, it may be a good idea not to release memory. However, from my point of view it makes very much sense for the CLI version of PHP and maybe we should raise this to php-dev@ to discuss certain things about this aspect there. - Markus -- Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.
