That said one of the reasons you are getting such bad numbers is because you are using a partial path PHP needs to resolve first. This compounded with ZTS mode makes things very slow, change the include statement to use full paths and you'll see much improved performance, not to mention much more consistent numbers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
