Be firm, say she employed you to do the job because you have the
ability to do it, and that she should trust your judgment and not
worry about the details which you have the time to research and the
ability to see through.
You have to be trusted to prioritise your work, and doing uneccessary
pieces of work will hamper you in those priorities, as you only have a
certain amount of time, something has to give somewhere.
Maybe give her an anology to help her understand, do you or anyone in
your office use 2 monitors oe does she have a bigger desk than
everyone else.
Having more real estate does mean that there is less space to move
about the room, but the job of using the computer, or storing piles of
work on the desk is made easier by larger space, provided the space is
not close to being used up, this doesnt impact on anyone else. So
provided you can show her the free memory is enough when using ALL of
the php.ini value, her point is irrelevant. You dont need to log
anything, just take a worst case scenario and show it makes sense,
which I am sure you have thought about.
