Tuesday, October 16. 20075_3 snapshots are available
Derick added 5_3 snapshots to snaps.php.net some minutes ago.
Short list of what you can find there: - Namespaces - Late static binding - __callstatic() magic method - Accessing static members through $foo::myFunc() - Fully rewritten ini-parser with .htaccess-like user defined ini files for CGI/FastCGI - Improved OpenSSL extension - PCRE 7.4 - other fixes and improvements that will never get into 5_2 branch. Please test it as tough as you can before the release! Trackbacks

thanks for the snapshot
is the late static binding something like javascript prototype style? fooClass::barStaticMethod = function($a, $b) { // late content .. self::$_protectedVar; etc } if so, its really great & expected job and namespaces delicious too 
See it explained here (Etienne is the author of the patch):

Wow, the 5.3 snapshot took less than 10% of the 5.2.5 memory consumption (hashing 4GB+ input file in less than 5 minutes on WinXP 32-bit, consuming
This doesn't sound right, actually.
There were no changes that would cause improvement THAT big and taking into account the garbage collector added, it actually should require some more memory than 5.2.5, like several bytes plus per variable.
I repeated the test and once again Windows and Task Manager prove to be not that accurate.
Sometimes PHP 5.3 was a few 100 KB ahead, sometimes the opposite. I will repeat the test with 5.2.6RC1 as soon it will be released.
Uhm, I really doubt this is the right way to do the profiling =)
