This is still a memory vs. performance issue. In my case I definitely would prefer the performance, so I am not so sure that this holds here either. The common case is people using PHP in a single Apache instance and in a single SAPI. I think we should optimize for that. People who do more advanced things are by definition more advanced and as long as they have a knob to twiddle that will get them a true shared library if they want, they should be fine. I also don't think very many people have dozens of CLI php jobs running at the same time, so the extra couple of pages for that one-off CLI job really isn't going to hurt anybody. -Rasmus
