Bug #63666 [NEW]: Poor date() performance [PATCH]

From: njaguar at gmail dot com Operating system: any PHP version: 5.4.9 Package: Performance problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Poor date() performance [PATCH] Description: ------------ Full info here: http://news.php.net/php.internals/64127 4.4.9 on old machine vs 5.4.9 on new machine: date : 1.856 sec date : 2.111 sec after patch (~20% performance increase): date: 1.763 sec * new machine is 2 to 200x faster than old machine, see link above for more details Test script: --------------- // common date output format // use any preferred timing methods either within php, or externally time execution of the script (eg, microtime(), etc) -- the former will be more accurate at isolating the date() function, overall $c = 1000000; for($i=0; $i<$c; $i++) date('F j, Y, g:i a', $now); Expected result: ---------------- worse performance on stock builds, better when patch is applied -- still considerably slower than 4.4.9 version of date() and related, but is an improvement Actual result: -------------- By moving the frequently used iso fetching function into the switch statement, this prevents an otherwise unnecessary step for other more common usages of date formatting. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63666&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63666&r=mysqlcfg
