I know a few cms they would be pleased with 12M.
That looks quite fair to me.

But , why the hell is this not a configurable limit by build ?
Why do we need to --enable-memory-limit to be able to get a custom value 
but then at run time only ?

In clear, I would like to be able to generate php with a limit given in 
./configure.
This limit may be different from an install to another , depending on 
the applications.

I hope my poor english is understandable.

Regards.
