the timing results. :-) How are you going to remove the effect of concurrent requests > for the page from the numbers? why would you want to - it actually make for a more realistic test. besides which it's not so much the real numbers that come out of any given request as the differences between the numbers produced by each test within a single request. my point is that if you gather enough raw numbers of a a long enough period of time then you will start to a see a realiable *trend* at the end of the day nothing is 100% when it comes to benchmarking - and even if you could make it so the real world has to many unknowns and mitigating factors as to make the benchmarks completely worthless (unless you selling something ;-) The other mail I sent showing a run where > printf() came out almost twice as fast as echo clearly shows that the > numbers carry little information. > > All that I could gather from several runs was that *printf() is > *slightly* slower than echo, and that the difference isn't large enough > to justify ditching *printf(). I knew this before. obviously coding preference and code maintainance weigh heavily (or should do so imho); your time is precious - hardware is cheap :-) > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
