HandySolo,
By any chance, if ilbliege, was running a php accelerater (i.e., eAccelerator or Zend), would it help in his/her situation with the resource limits?
More important question, if you were running wordpress with a php accelerator, does wordpress recognize this and makes use of it? If not, are there any plans on any future releases of wordpress to incorporate such a feature if the server was running a php accelerator?
