ID: 50351 Updated by: dmi...@php.net Reported By: rlillack at yasni dot de -Status: Verified +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: 64/32bit linux PHP Version: 5.3.1 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: dmitry New Comment:
The reason of slowdown is Garbage Collector. I'll take a look into it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-02 09:59:09] rlillack at yasni dot de It has to do something with object allocation because the problem does NOT occur with this loop: foreach (range(1, 1000000) as $i) { $a []= array($i); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-02 09:11:20] notarealemail at nodomain dot com Sorry, forgotten a benchmark: time: 0.90 secs, memory usage 219.38 MiB. (original loop, GC disabled) So the problem seems more related to foreach+array+garbage collector than class allocation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-02 08:59:11] j...@php.net Not exactly faster but better than with foreach(): [j...@localhost ~]$ php -d memory_limit=2G t.php time: 2.73 secs, memory usage 371.39 MiB. [j...@localhost ~]$ src/build/php_5_3/sapi/cli/php -d memory_limit=2G t.php time: 3.05 secs, memory usage 383.46 MiB. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-02 08:42:56] notarealemail at nodomain dot com Simply changing the loop from foreach (range(1, 1000000) as $i) to for ( $i = 0; $i < 1000000; $i++ ) Makes php 5.3.1 (win xp vc9 nots cli) run "normal", even faster than 5.2.11 (same configuration). Performance (php 5.3.1): time: 8.23 secs, memory usage 219.38 MiB. (original loop) time: 0.91 secs, memory usage 219.39 MiB. (modified loop) time: 0.72 secs, memory usage 219.38 MiB. (modified loop, GC disabled) Tested on a E8400 3GHz. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-01 14:46:39] j...@php.net See also bug #48781 (propably related as well) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
