Why would you need threads? - Won't some async process control be enough? - The test manager doesn't have to be parallelized, it should just run multiple tests at once. And yes, I'm very interested I have a 64 way SPARC machine which currently needs 7 days for a gcov run which, in theory, might be reduced to 7/64 days ... Another interesting thing might be directory-wide skipif so we don't have to run two PHP interpreters per test. But when working on all kinds of things there one should look on the rewrite by Zoe (and others) which should be nicer for modification than the grown code of the existing run-tests.php johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
