Brendon, in our environment, we use NFS for shared storage, we are using APC as well with stat=0. In our setting, we are experiencing high number of stat() calls on the NFS. My initial finding of this problem is we enabled the open_basedir setting. And there is already a bug report for this, https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52312
We tested the issue in 5.2.x, 5.3.x and 5.4.x, all of them experiencing same issue. I m not sure if this is a same problem as yours. But I do hope the community can find out a good solutions to handle the balance of better security and good performance. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
