Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74929&edit=1 ID: 74929 Comment by: andxfiles at gmail dot com Reported by: andxfiles at gmail dot com Summary: mbstring functions version 7.1.1 are slow compared to 5.3 on Windows Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: mbstring related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 7.1.7 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: ab@php.net, nikic@php.net: Unfortunately under Windows I still see no difference. New results: 5.3.28: mb_strlen: 309.4 milliseconds mb_stripos: 3523.4 milliseconds mb_substr: 326.6 milliseconds 7.1.1: mb_strlen: 426.3 milliseconds mb_stripos: 4812.5 milliseconds mb_substr: 421.9 milliseconds 7.1.9-dev (master) mb_strlen: 421.9 milliseconds mb_stripos: 4890.6 milliseconds mb_substr: 421.9 milliseconds Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-23 19:15:31] ab@php.net @andxfiles, Nikita made quite a few improvements to ext mbstring in master, see bug #74933. I'd say, it would make sense to check some latest master snapshot, to fetch here http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ . We also work on a new PGO approach, so further improvements are to come. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-23 03:14:28] andxfiles at gmail dot com Both versions of php are Non Thread Safe. Windows version is: Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bit. However, a user on stackoverflow (link in previous comment) has replicated it in Windows 7 as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-22 12:22:34] ab@php.net Ok. As a followup - both use same flavor TS/NTS? Both tested on the same machine? Which exact Widows version? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-22 10:45:39] andxfiles at gmail dot com In both cases I'm using 32bit versions of php. One case is php 5.3.28 and the other is 7.1.1. The OS is Windows, the problem does not seem to exist under Linux. Both versions are installed via Web Platform Installer from within IIS. Other people have been able to reproduce it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45028018/php-7-mb-multibyte-functions-are-60-slower-than-in-5-3-possibly-windows-on ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-07-22 08:47:18] ab@php.net Thanks for the report. Do you use a 64-bit build of PHP 7? If so, please compare with a 32-bit build. I basically can't reproduce such a big discrepancy, but otherwise it could be possible a 64-bit build would be slower a little bit. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
