Re: [PHP-DEV] The way the engine works?

[Stanislav Malyshev]

I think what is happening is that the Engine caches small-sized memory 
blocks and does not really free them when they are deallocated, even 
when they are not referenced anymore. The cache size is limited, so I 
don't think you need to be concerned. If you still think it is a big 
problem for you, you could set USE_ZEND_ALLOC environment variable to 0 
and have the engine user regular malloc/free. Note that this would 
probably harm your performance.
