The size of generated files depends of the size of your templates.

There is a problem there, PHPTAL should not generate a 16MB file unless 
your template is as big.

Please send me your template file so i can check that PHPTAL is not 
involved in this bug.

Chances are that your PHP configuration has a problem. Which PHP version 
are you using ? which PHPTAL version ?

It looks like PHP itself is broken these times (well, it's not like it 
has ever been really stable :).

NOTE:

There is a big problem related to zend.ze1_compatibility_mode option, 
which force PHP5 to act as PHP4 and break the behaviour of some OO 
libraries like PHPTAL.

See below :

2.5 zend.ze1_compatibility mode

Issue: zend.ze1_compatibility_mode tries to keep the old PHP 4 behaviour 
where objects will be copied on assignment unless they are assigned by 
reference (and the same for passing to a function as that is assigning 
too). It also affects casting objects to an integer.

Discussion: This functionality does not work 100% and its functionality 
was introduced to migrate PHP 4 users to PHP 5 in an easier way. As this 
is not an issue anyway, we intend to remove this setting.

Conclusions:

    1. We remove the zend.ze1_compatibility_mode feature from PHP.
    2. We throw an E_CORE_ERROR when starting PHP and when we detect the 
zend.ze1_compatibility_mode setting.
