vbscript code:

wscript.echo now
For I = 1 To 3000
set ru=GetObject("WinMgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").InstancesOf("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
set ru = nothing
Next
wscript.echo now

vbscript output:
C:\php\wmi>cscript wmi.vbs

php code:

$prof = new Profiler;
for ($i=0;$i<3000;$i++){
$prof->startTimer($i);
$Services = new COM("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}") or die("glump");
$NetworkAdapterSet = $Services->InstancesOf('Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration');
$NetworkAdapterSet->release();
$Services->release();
unset($Services);
unset($NetworkAdapterSet);
$prof->stopTimer($i);
}

php results: 
C:\php\snaps\php4-win32-latest>php c:\php\wmi\wmiperf.php

Warning: (null)(): Invoke() failed: Exception occurred.
 <b>Source</b>: SWbemServices <b>Description</b>: Generic failure
 in c:\php\wmi\wmiperf.php on line 7

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in c:\php\wmi\wmiperf.php
 on line 8

doing it as 3 seperate runs yielded:
0-1000 runs: 11313.1239 ms (100.00 %) OVERALL TIME
1000-2000 runs: 23879.2120 ms (100.00 %) OVERALL TIME
2000-3000: 544210.0750 ms (100.00 %) OVERALL TIME

At the same time, memory utilization of winmgmt.exe rises to ~30mb from the normal 4mb...

Looks like something isn't getting freed right...

Just a comment.  As I understand PHP is meant to be optimal at handling HTTP requests.  This implies a relatively short period of processing after which the script exits.

This processing model implies that a lazy approach to garbage collection is going to be most often optimal.  Or to put it differently, all the garbage is collected when the script exits.

If handling better the case described here means the usual case is less optimal then perhaps this behaviour should stay as-is?  Allocating and freeing huge numbers of largish (~10KB) COM objects is unusual usage.

BTW - it might be a more exact example if the vbscript code used CreateObject() rather than GetObject().

beside that i don't have enough time to hunt memleaks in php4 code i want to note that this was qa code and not production code. php5 has a much better architecture to prevent such flaws.
