Hi, I have been compiling 5.2.1 and comparing it with 5.2.0. The development box I am using is a Xeon 3.4 GHz with 4 cores (not sure if its 2xdual core or what, but not relevant here). I am compiling using -O2 -march=i686 -msse2.
When running bench.php (http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/ZendEngine2/bench.php?view=markup) I found that 5.2.1 takes twice as long as 5.2.0: PHP 5.2.0 --------- simple 0.269 simplecall 0.472 simpleucall 0.829 simpleudcall 0.952 mandel 1.043 mandel2 1.203 ackermann(7) 0.859 ary(50000) 0.049 ary2(50000) 0.041 ary3(2000) 0.478 fibo(30) 2.093 hash1(50000) 0.088 hash2(500) 0.095 heapsort(20000) 0.279 matrix(20) 0.245 nestedloop(12) 0.458 sieve(30) 0.220 strcat(200000) 0.038 ------------------------ Total 9.713 PHP 5.2.1 --------- simple 0.537 simplecall 0.957 simpleucall 1.429 simpleudcall 1.467 mandel 1.988 mandel2 2.506 ackermann(7) 1.646 ary(50000) 0.087 ary2(50000) 0.073 ary3(2000) 0.983 fibo(30) 3.744 hash1(50000) 0.176 hash2(500) 0.194 heapsort(20000) 0.541 matrix(20) 0.446 nestedloop(12) 0.808 sieve(30) 0.422 strcat(200000) 0.422 ------------------------ Total 18.427 Please tell me I am missing something here :) Regards Andrew -- Andrew Hutchings - Linux Jedi - http://www.linuxjedi.co.uk/ A-Wing Internet Services - http://www.a-wing.co.uk/ Windows is the path to the darkside...Windows leads to Blue Screen.
