Unless you need the limit to be that high. But I agree that it isn't ideal. However, PHP cleans up nicely once the process ends, and manually freeing memory space can slow PHP down. The only exception I would take to this, I believe, are resources. If is_resource($foo) returns true, you should probably free it (looking at you, JpGraph)
