note 64415 added to function.call-user-func

I tested the same code that insta at citiesunlimited dot com pasted on the following machines: www1 machine: OS: FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE CPU: 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.66GHz (2657.82-MHz 686-class CPU) with Hyperthreading MEM: 1073217536 (1023 MB) PHP 5.1.2 (cli) PHP 4.4.1 (Web) www2 machine: OS: Linux version 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 Gentoo 3.4.3-r1, ssp-3.4.3-0, pie-8.7.7) CPU: 2 x Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 265 stepping 02 1808.357 MHz MEM: 2060388k total PHP 5.1.2 (cli) PHP Version 4.4.0-pl1-gentoo (web) dev machine: OS: Linux version 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1 CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz stepping 04 MEM: 516384k total, PHP 4.4.0-pl1-gentoo (cli) PHP Version 4.4.0-pl1-gentoo (web) The result are as follows: www1 - CLI Variable functions took 0.012186050415 seconds. call_user_func took 0.0300550460815 seconds. eval took 0.17235994339 seconds. www1 - Web Variable functions took 0.017616 seconds. call_user_func took 0.034926 seconds. eval took 0.149618 seconds www2 - CLI Variable functions took 0.0065491199493408 seconds. call_user_func took 0.019452095031738 seconds. eval took 0.10734891891479 seconds. www2 - Web Variable functions took 0.01565 seconds. call_user_func took 0.02613 seconds. eval took 0.132258 seconds. dev - CLI Variable functions took 0.025176 seconds. call_user_func took 0.047402 seconds. eval took 0.168196 seconds. dev - Web Variable functions took 0.025465 seconds. call_user_func took 0.049713 seconds. eval took 0.20154 seconds. On www1 - CLI, eval is about 14 times slower than calling function by using variable. On www1 - Web, eval is about 8.5 times slower (hmm interesting. Perhaps PHP4 is faster calculating eval than PHP5) On www2 - CLI, eval is about 16 times slower than calling function by using variable. On www2 - Web, eval is about 8.5 times slower (about same result as www1) On dev - CLI, eval is about 6.6 times slower than calling function by using variable. On dev - Web, eval is about 8 times slower (about same result as www1) On the dev machine, CLI and web version of PHP is the same. and their speed difference between calling function using variable or eval does not differ that much compare to PHP5 VS PHP5 ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 67.126.148.190 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/64415 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64415/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64415/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64415/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64415/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64415/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64415/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64415 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/64415 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
