Memory footprint tests : 



<?php

echo memory_get_usage()."\n"; // display 627760

$array = array_fill( 0, 2048, 'a' );

echo memory_get_usage()."\n"; // 824744, so 196984 for $array



unset( $array );



echo memory_get_usage()."\n"; // 627792

$spl=SplFixedArray::fromArray( array_fill( 0, 2048, 'a' ) );

echo memory_get_usage()."\n"; //644944, so just 17151 for $spl !!!
