Thread:Extension talk:PhpTags/$wgPhpTagsMaxLoops

I am using a phptags in a template, and although no single invocation of the template iterates in loops enough to get anywhere remotely near $wgPhpTagsMaxLoops, I am reaching the limit after a few dozen invocations of the template on a large page. Is the $wgPhpTagsMaxLoops variable meant to be a limit on the total number of loop iterations allowed in rendering a page, even across distinct uses of phptags---I know $wgPhpTagsMaxLoops can be changed, but is that really the intended behaviour? (MW 1.24.1, PhpTags 4.2.0).
