The real problem is that such full scan are repeated more then once:
25933 lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) =
0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs/phpinfo.php",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16, ...}) = 0
First check
25933 lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) =
0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs/phpinfo.php",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16, ...}) = 0
Second check
25933 lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) =
0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
Third check (incomplete)
25933 lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) =
0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
25933 lstat("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs/phpinfo.php",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16, ...}) = 0
Final check and then read the file.
25933 open("/usr/local/myspace/webspace/httpdocs/phpinfo.php", O_RDONLY)
= 16
25933 fstat(16, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16, ...}) = 0
25933 read(16, "<? phpinfo() ?>\n", 8192) = 16
25933 read(16, "", 8192) = 0
25933 read(16, "", 8192) = 0
25933 close(16) = 0

The scan of each element of the paths happen anyway, whether the paths
contain symlinks or not. Check the code TSRM/ for a deeper explanation.

@pajoye; as is described in "Actual result" part of this bug, first time
PHP engine check filepath there is a full scan of all directories at
least 4
times before cache the result, this behavior anyway cannot scale in a so
large environment.
@rasmus: this is very interesting, I can consider upgrade to 5.3 in
order to avoid this behavior.
I know this is an extrema ratio: may I disable symlinks support from PHP
engine in order to avoid this behavior?
Is there an answer regarding the increase of realpath_cache_size
realpath_cache_ttl?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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).
