How to speed up PHP Depend

Question

I'm running PHP Depend on our code base to profile the PHP. It's a large code base, and I have been disappointed by how long it is taking to iterate through all of the files: days.

It's an internal server, but pdepend has sucked up all of the available memory and is constantly swapping. Is there a config setting I can set to get PHP Depend to dump data out of memory? Are there any suggestions on getting this to speed up?

Answer 1

Might I suggest a profiling tool: XHProf & XHGui. The former is a profiler you can run in production, the latter is a GUI you can use to visualize the information you've received. Since PHP Depend seems to be written in PHP it would be pretty effective at determining what the code is up to.
