segfaults of Apache caused by PHP Mapscript are a bit outside the scope 
of p.mapper... Since the refactoring of all the PHP Mapscript code in MS 
6, the amount of irregularly appearing and difficult to trace segfaults 
has increased dramatically. That was for me the reason to e.g. rewrite 
some WMS handling in PHP Mapscript again in Python Mapscript, which 
however doesn't help you in this case...

To avoid legend updates based on visible features of the map you can 
deactivate it by setting

<legendDynamicUpdate>0</legendDynamicUpdate>

which is anyway the default, so you probably have set this to "1". I 
guess it works only with Mapserver 6.+.

For larger amounts of active layers with higher numbers of features 
displayed it should get quite slow since it needs to run all loops 
through layer features in PHP. Having this inside a C function called 
via Mapscript should be really fast (the map rendering is using the same 
type of checks, and it is fast), but this has never made its way to 
Mapserver code.
