$wgMaxShellMemory default value too low for SphinxSearch_setup.php (MediaWiki 1.19, Sphinx 0.8.5/r115479, Sphinx 2.0.4)
Fragment of a discussion from Extension talk:SphinxSearch
On my development box (47 docs, 17983 bytes) it works just fine with the default memory settings. Currently I have Sphinx 2.0.2 here, but I do not think that would be a reson for a huge difference in memory usage. Perhaps something related to PHP version you use or some settings it has?
