Yeah, i believe that is the GC he is talking about. By default, php will do GC 1% of the requests, the actual rate of GC an how much work it needs to do is predicted by: session.gc_divisor session.gc_probability session.gc_maxlifetime see: http://php.net/manual/en/ini.php > > How would you measure that? is there a way to do that? If you are trying to benchmark the script and log excessive time for a script to execute, i would probably suggest to use the auto_prepend and auto_append directives to include scripts that set begin and end times and log things, vs setting the start time in apache and waiting for php to actually finishing its shutdown process.
