Hi Matt,
I like the idea (especially ZEND_INIT_ARRAY optimization) and from the
first look patch seems proper. I'll need to look into it more careful
before commit (probably on next week).
Thanks. Dmitry.

Hi all,
Expanding on the idea of passing a size other than 0 to zend_hash_init(),
when possible, which was done awhile ago in a few areas (to save
resize/rehash operations), I finally added an "array_init_size()" that can
be used instead of array_init(), likewise, when a size is known. As an
example to start, I updated these functions:
array_*: change_key_case, chunk, combine, fill, fill_keys, flip, keys
(without $search_value), map, rand, reverse, slice, splice, unique (since it
copies all entries first), values; and also compact; func_get_args;
get_defined_vars; str_split; and a couple internal uses.
Those were the simplest, most obvious cases I found. :-) I didn't test
every function, but for example, the array functions that don't do much work
I found to be ~10% faster (with more than 8 elements, otherwise no resizing
would be needed). If these changes are applied, more can be done where
possible, by others, or I can and send further patches, or update them
myself if I have CVS access...

I was playing with initializing scripts' array( ... ) constructs with the
correct size too, but wasn't sure about the changes or what the opinion
would be. Runtime creation is improved with >8 elements, though it adds a
bit of compile overhead. Anyway, separate patches for that:

Thanks,
