note 72448 added to function.similar-text

The speed issues for similar_text seem to be only an issue for long sections of text (>20000 chars). I found a huge performance improvement in my application by just testing if the string to be tested was less than 20000 chars before calling similar_text. 20000+ took 3-5 secs to process, anything else (10000 and below) took a fraction of a second. Fortunately for me, there was only a handful of instances with >20000 chars which I couldn't get a comparison % for. ---- Server IP: 203.16.234.91 Probable Submitter: 141.132.11.3 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.similar-text.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72448 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72448/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72448/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72448/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72448/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72448/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72448/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72448 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72448 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
