Well, this is not fair - you should sum up all zend symbols if you compare that way - there're no debugging symbols for libpcre, so you get aggregated view. Thats same like saying that 10 is smaller number than 7, just because you can factorize it ;-) Comparing apples and oranges doesn't always help, that kind of hand waving may impress others, but some have spent more time looking at that data than just for ranting in single mailing list thread ;-) Cheers, Domas _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
