I'm obsessed. 50% memory savings with PHP arrays have driven me crazy 🤪

For the past few weeks, my after-work research on PHP arrays has dominated my free time. The 'Never* use arrays' talk by @Crell at PHPKonf 2021 and a misinterpreted statement that you can save ~50% memory with PHP arrays have triggered intensive research on the topic.

PHP arrays have driven me mad

Larry Garfield's 'Never* use arrays' talk really confused me. How can it be that objects in PHP save 50% memory? How can every PHP developer not be excited about this? And why don't you hear about it anywhere?
