I don't know if I'm talking bullshit, but don't forget that each parameter
or return valeu in php, if not explicited as a pointer, it's a copy of the
full parameter.
This way, any
function a(myclass c)
{
return c;
}
would create another copy of "c" in memory. Things get a bit larger when you
go with linked-list like structures in classes, where you have to take
really good care to don't duplicate data. If you're not taking care, then
maybe 5MB is normal.
IMHO, I agree with splitting the class into smaller functions. 370KB is a
big thing, that maybe useless. PHP isn't Java so you're not suposed to do a
"class mysite"
