XAMPP 1.0.1, slow PHP execution times

[anonova]

I noticed some PHP scripts were running kind of slowly when I was trying XAMMP on OS X (10.5.7). All it's doing is

Code: Select all

<?php
   $start = microtime(true);
   for ($i = 0; $i < 1E6; $i++) {
      hash('sha512', 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog');
   }
   echo ((microtime(true) - $start) * 1000).' ms'.PHP_EOL;
?>

So I run this script on three different PHP builds: (1) a MAMP build, (2) OSX's latest build, (3) XAMPP 1.0.1, and (4) one Linux build in a VM.

Code: Select all

# 1. PHP 5.2.5 (cli) (built: Nov 29 2007 09:31:38)
$ time /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php ~/test.php

real   0m7.013s
user   0m6.831s
sys   0m0.069s

# 2. PHP 5.2.8 (cli) (built: Feb  5 2009 21:21:13)
$ time php test.php

real   0m6.708s
user   0m6.419s
sys   0m0.067s

# 3. PHP 5.2.9 (cli) (built: Apr 12 2009 21:47:42)
$ time /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php test.php

real   0m9.688s
user   0m9.363s
sys   0m0.106s

# 4. PHP 5.2.10 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7 (cli) (built: Jul 14 2009 11:23:14)
$ time php test.php

real   0m1.734s
user   0m1.540s
sys   0m0.010s


Notice how slowly the XAMPP build is executing? It deviates quite a bit off from the native OSX build and MAMP. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

hm, that's strange...

I think the best is that you file a bug into our bugtracker so that we don't forgot this issue and can look why this happends.

Thanks
