Interestingly, post my comment, I had to implement this when I moved to shared hosting.

Surprisingly it worked and I now run pages at 64MB, however, it would have been great if I could only choose to run the admin area with this much memory

@Ajay: There are many aspects where increasing the memory is a must. For example I have been running one blog for six years now with more than 3000 posts, the tags alone in that many posts are more than 50mb worth of DB space. The longer we blog the more memory it will take to run even semi-popular blogs with any sort of efficiency.

@Frankie: it isn't so much a windows approach, though some plugins are definitely taking that approach. One of the biggest time wasters when it comes to making a post is the autosave function. There are several ways to turn this off or avoid its excessive use. I have tried several DB management plugins that will disable the feature, which is my preference. The second way to avoid it is to post with a client such as windows live writer or scribefire.

Oh, thank you, it was so easy and I was looking for it for so long, I thought I had to ask to my host but i just changed the numbers and it worked fine.

ops, I forgot a small tip:

to know how much memory is allocated by the host is possible to uset the plugin WP Security Scan:

I'm starting to think that Wordpress has choose the "Windows" path: more memory and resources used for a very small increase in (often unrequested) new functions.

Each release is more nice to play with but as a pro blogegr I think the latest releases require more time to create a post and upload the images...

Beside closing some security oles, what are the big benefits of the latest releases?!

I really would like to know the benefits of this more memory? How does it really help WordPress by increasing the memory limit in this manner.

Jacob: Sounds about right. Important to understand the distinction, because if you're running wp-super-cache, for example, the returns on this will be minimal. Good to know none the less.

WordPress won't run faster with more memory, it will just run. Which beats the alternative where it doesn't run at all or runs and breaks in the middle.

Just curious, when you say it's recommended to run WP with more memory, recommended by whom? What are the specific benefits? Any benchmarks?

Naturally, it sounds like a good idea, just wondering what the science is behind it.

Will this help running wordpress faster i guess, since lots of people cant increase memory on shared hosts
