Just to verify that it is due to the lack of huge pages, can you configure some and re-run your
test. Something like:
sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=256

Description:
------------
Testcase runs in 6.7 sec.
1.7 sec in PHP 5.6.
strace reports lots of ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) warnings:
munmap(0x7fd131400000, 2097152) = 0
mmap(NULL, 2097152, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_HUGETLB, -1, 0) = -1 ENOMEM
(Cannot allocate memory)
mmap(NULL, 2097152, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fd131400000
madvise(0x7fd131400000, 2097152, MADV_HUGEPAGE) = 0
munmap(0x7fd131400000, 2097152) = 0
mmap(NULL, 2097152, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_HUGETLB, -1, 0) = -1 ENOMEM
(Cannot allocate memory)
mmap(NULL, 2097152, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fd131400000
madvise(0x7fd131400000, 2097152, MADV_HUGEPAGE) = 0

Ultimately the memory allocation succeeds. With bigger javascript inputs (it's a javascript
minifier), running time can be in 10-60 minutes, compared to 1-5 minutes under 5.6.
The PHP binary is compiled on a host with HUGETLB support, however the target host
(systemd-container) has not Hugepages (configured). 5.6 testing was done with same memory amount.
There is enough (normal) free memory.
cat /proc/meminfo
[..]
HugePages_Total: 0
HugePages_Free: 0
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Test script:

https://gist.github.com/arjenschol/49a847c07154b51130b2
Expected result:
----------------
Execution at least as fast as 5.6.
Actual result:
--------------
3-4x slower compared to 5.6.
