You can disable the error handler with:
xdebug.default_enable=0

Totally disabling is not really going to work, some of the hooks are
just there when it's loaded, but you can make sure that it doesn't add
too much overbead by disabling the error handler like above, and also
disable tracing and profiling for each vhost.
