    From the blog :

    PHP5 isn't ready

    This is what I get for running a server on pre-alpha software.

    Ok, so as many of you already know, I have my talk for NYPHP online. This talk is hosted on NYPHP's servers, and is running Apache 1.3.27 + PHP5.

    PHP5 leaks worse than the titantic. With MaxRequestsPerChild at 100, apache children grew to 37MB (before we stopped counting). At MaxRequestsPerChild at 40, it was around 27mb. Finally, we've settled on a reasonable default 25 requests per child. MaxClients at 50.

    This is a box that can easily handle 20 times this load. ugh.

    PHP5 is pre-alpha. Don't think otherwise.
