In fact, that was initial though behind all my tests - to see how many small blocks PHP allocates, what are these small blocks and how well they are cached. If anybody is interested in working or it or has suggestions about that - I can share my thoughts. BTW, I don't exactly think dmalloc is the best way for what we are going to do, since AFAIK it's general-purpose allocator, and what we need is more to the direction of fixed-size block allocator. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.109 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
