Re: Re: CLI in PHP6

That would be nice. If all memory, even the stuff allocated by functions, is freed at the end of the request, I can see where the problem is. It would be very useful if this memory really would be freed at the moment all references to it disappear. This would be a lot better for the CLI environment, but also for a web environment, if you ask me, because the memory required for handling pages might just be reduced by a big percentage. I guess the question is: would this be a big performance hit in processing time? (and I fear the answer is too big a "yes", otherwise I expect it would've already been implemented).
