Speaking of PHP, does anyone here know how mod_php handles the
memory bloat / precompilation problem?

Preloading scripts is obviously a good thing (eg with the PerlStart
directive), we all know this on this list.  And even if you don't do
preloading, things like Apache::Registry keep your compiled scripts
in memory so the code doesn't have to get parsed again on each
request.

So, does anyone know what PHP does?  Does it parse the mixture of
PHP and HTML every time?  Does it keep a cache?  Does it limit the
size of this cache (which Apache::Registry doesn't)?.  How big does
a typical Apache/PHP process get?

I think these are all questions that we mod_perlers should be at
least familiar with... if only to respond to questions of PHPers, or
to improve mod_perl with any good ideas that mod_php may have.
