[Typo3-dev] Memory consumption status / 8MB limits

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Hi Folks.

An update on the memory problems with the Extension Manager.

I have found that the problem is parsing of the scripts. The EM includes
almost all of the huge classes in TYPO3 and apparently it now exits
before it even begins to execute code.

There is apparently no way out of this, so I will now stop trying to
find bad memory usage in the EM itself. The only thing I could find in
there anyways is the array that picks up information about all the
extensions - that becomes huge; some hundred kilobytes, but honestly
that is nothing I haven't handled before...

I did my tests ALSO with PHP-accelerator disabled.

Another reason for not caring about this problem anymore is that at
other occasions the same problem happens. It is not only the Extension
Manager nowadays that requires a lot of memory. I have experienced it in
the frontend as well and I think there is now way around with big TYPO3
applications.

I'm running successfully with 24 MB at the moment. Works for all
situations on my server.

I have added a red warning in the install tool if the limit is below 16
MB.


If anyone cares to investigate this further, be my guest. I will not
spend more time myself now so if this is important for some, you have to
help yourself.
