 Then add `extension=spx.so` to your *php.ini*, or in a dedicated *spx.ini* file created within the include directory.
 You may also want to override [default SPX configuration](#configuration) to be able to profile a web request, with [this one](#private-environment) for example for a local development environment.

+### ZTS PHP (multi-thread)
+
+ZTS PHP is supported, with these extra limitations:
+- a little overhead (theorically unnoticeable in most cases) is added when SPX is loaded, even if it is not enabled.
+- Ctrl-C a CLI script will not make the possible profiling session to be properly finished.
+- segfaults are more likely than for NTS PHP. In this regard, avoid more than ever mixing SPX with other instrumenting extensions (debuggers, profilers...).
+
+Also, consider ZTS PHP support as still being in beta.

 ### Linux, PHP-FPM & I/O stats
 
 On GNU/Linux, SPX uses procfs (i.e. by reading files under `/proc` directory) to get some stats for the current process or thread. This is what is done under the hood when you select at least one of these metrics: `mor`, `io`, `ior` or `iow`.
