I'm moe worried about the performance -

the vast mayority of users will be happy with a more secure system and
will  like accept a 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1% slowdown in case it is slow..
I sometimes wonder what it is real target of PHP, the masses or a
selected neglible group of users that requires extreme craze
performance..

If you would have time to run a
benchmark using something like bench.php and maybe some more complicated
code, it'd be nice to know the result.

maybe I can check that tomorrow.. but you can also run it by yourself :P

However , is in your hands to end with this strange policy, you can
either make the 32 bit reference counter, apply this hackaround or
state publicitely in the php homepage that PHP4 will not get
proper/complete security fixes anymore because you dont want to break
binary compatibility to protect corporate interests or simple because
it is dead. that would be clearer for users and for all the
people/companies that distributes/uses your software.
