One is a very non-true-threading apprach which involves a combination of ticks and Runkit_Sandbox which I hope to get around to sooner rather than later.
The other is a longer-range plan designed to work specifically with apache2-worker (though perhaps generalized to work with other threaded SAPIs) to actually use some of those extra threads to link multiple real interpreters together (allowing one request chain to start/shutdown another in a sibling relationship -- as opposed to Runkit_Sandbox which is purely parent/child). Don't look for this anytime soon though. It's in my "wouldn't that be kinda cool" bin of projects to work on next to oggtheora and a few unnamed beasts... -Sara -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
