JIT integrated into opcache, it compiles php script(s) of first access and stores code in shared memory. On following requests precompiled code is executed directly from shared memory. - The first request may be extremely slow (few minutes) - The speed improvement on the following request may be insignificant or even negative. It very depends on application, but from my experience only small apps got significant improvements. This may be explained by huge increase in ICACHE and ITLB misses, but I'm not 100% sure. > I am biased but if it improves the bench code so much it still sounds like > a potentially good things for specific code like the composer dependency > solver :) > Yeah. Probably, if we position this work as a JIT for hotspots only, or even enable it for some functions manually we may get better results. Thanks.
