# Resource Usage
SilverStripe tries to keep its resource usage within the documented limits
(see the [server requirements](../../getting_started/server_requirements)).
These limits are defined through `memory_limit` and `max_execution_time` in the PHP configuration. They can be
overwritten through `ini_set()`, unless PHP is running with the [Suhoshin Patches](http://www.hardened-php.net/)
or in "[safe mode](http://php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php)".
[alert]
Most shared hosting providers will have maximum values that can't be altered.
[/alert]
For certain tasks like synchronizing a large `assets/` folder with all file and folder entries in the database, more
resources are required temporarily. In general, we recommend running resource intensive tasks through the
[command line](../cli), where configuration defaults for these settings are higher or even unlimited.
[info]
SilverStripe can request more resources through `Environment::increaseMemoryLimitTo()` and
`Environment::increaseTimeLimitTo()` functions.
[/info]
```php
use SilverStripe\Core\Environment;
public function myBigFunction()
{
Environment::increaseTimeLimitTo(400);
}
```
