Even if you don't compile any modules into PHP, it includs at least a dozen built in modules... The truth is that the startup functions really pose no noticeable overhead, even if you were to completely remove them. If we had a startup function that actually calculates something, or does something more complex than a couple of assignments and a single emalloc(), it would have been worth it. But I can't think of any such request startup function. Zeev
