Hashtables and zvals have overhead. So if you store 4-byte value, you have: zval wrapper - 16 bytes allocation unit - 8 bytes IIRC hashtable bucket - 36 bytes So you are already at 60 bytes per value. That's on 32-bit, on 64-bit due to pointers and longs being wider, probably almost double that. Then also add the storage for the key itself. If you need more memory-efficient data storage, something like SplFixedArray may help. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
