Yeah, I thought about using LimitIterator [1] to avoid the creation of
temporary arrays but I wasn't sure about the performance of it (does it
always seek?) or if it works with Traversables.
A custom "LimitIterator", without seeking, might of course work, or
perhaps it's enough to just modify the code and use a SplFixedArray
object to ensure constant memory usage, without relying on PHP's garbage
collector to do the job.

I've put together a very simple chunk iterator [1] which works with

Perhaps it could even be added to the standard PHPTAL code base?

Thank you.
That's a good start, but doesn't avoid creation of arrays yet. What I
actually had in mind was pair of iterators (one for rows like you've
created, another for each row) that doesn't create PHP array at any
point, just passes calls to the innermost iterator. That would ensure
constant memory usage (rather than 1/number_of_columns) on arbitrarily
large iterations, which I think is the major reason to use iterators
instead of (presumably faster) array_chunk(iterator_to_array()).
