I would like to know your opinion on an RFC I'm thinking to propose. I don't have the skills to code this into PHP Core so anyone who would like to be involved is welcomed. The RFC would refer to PHP's ability to use either SWAP memory and/or SWAP Files. There are some very interesting things that PHP knows how to do, related to data-processing, filtering, regex and so on, but one of the main blockers is the "memory limit". There are servers or situation where memory can't be extended, but where disk space is available and maybe even fast enough (SSD) to cover that gap. At this moment PHP doesn't know how to use the SWAP memory from linux, and there isn't any way to specify a file that could act as one, similar to an internal PHP SWAP
PHP itself has no business to deal with swap or even know that swap exists at all - thats the natural core business of teh underlying operating system and userland has not to try outsmart the OS
