 New Comment:

And like I said, we have made this more efficient in PHP 5.3 because we
now cache 

the partial paths separately.  You should see a performance improvement
going to 

5.3.

Again, it does it once and only once per path. When it does it, it
checks each element of a path (and cache each of them too).

I must also to notify that looking at our production servers in some
cases PHP engine tries up to 8 times before read the file.



Can you explain why PHP engine have this behavior?

There is any way to remove/change this behavior in PHP engine?

We already tuned cache size to following values:



realpath_cache_size=1024k

realpath_cache_ttl=7200



Can we increase cache size to:



realpath_cache_size=40960k

realpath_cache_ttl=72000



Do you know if memory_limit is affected by realpath_cache_size
increase?

Actually our memory limit is set to:



memory_limit = 96M



But biggest problem we have at moment is when search engines spiders
come to crawling all platform. 

In this case all existing pages are crawled by spiders.

Can you suggest us a workaround?

That's why the setting realpath_cache_size and TTL exist. They allow you
to fine tune this cache to fit your needs. On a shared host you will
certainly increase the default value.

Thanks for your explanation, I followed your suggestions and there is a
performance improvement in submitted case.

Anyway your suggestions are not applicable in all cases.



Please consider this problem from my point of view: in a production
environment of a big web hosting provider.



In this real case there are many thousands of users that can freely
write their own PHP code, there also are hundreds of thousands of pages
that cannot be cached.



Please consider also that what happens when Google spiders come to crawl
all pages.
