resource friendly projections required

[codeliner]

from the chat by @basz : when I run several long runing php processes (projection) how much memory should I expect those to use? according to newrelic 11 processes consume ~500Mb. time three for dev, staging production that kind of adds up. I’m wondering how accurate that metric is… Also I thought php7 was memory friendly and several processes can ‘share’ memory… Just qurious here

Bradley Weston @bweston92 Mrz. 14 16:56 @basz PHP isn't very memory friendly it adds extra data around stuff (http://php.net/manual/en/internals2.variables.intro.php). Example a string isn't just a string. However most programs don't just decrease memory when things aren't used anymore you have to wait for garbage collection which has to be enabled with zend.enable_gc=1

Can we do something to improve the situation?
