Re: just a suggestion

Hi Andrei, You just explained below, why there is no point in implementing the idea: there are too many factors to consider. It has nothing to tell to anyone not on the exact same setup, with the exact parameters. The solution is to grab some profiling tool (there are free ones out there) and profile your own code. Some functions might have exponential performance differences when changing parameters, some might have linear. Single numbers for specific platforms say absolutely nothing. For further profiling questions, please contact php-general@lists.php.net our mailing list for PHP users.
