These are tests that were done for Propel, note that propel has now
gone to requiring spl_autoload because of these results.
this is using eaccel as apc was crashing for him, php 5.0.4, october 4th
(02:38:26) let's see if it crashes my apache like APC does
(02:38:35) nope!
(02:38:41) shit
(02:38:44) it's like 3x faster
(02:39:09) even w/o doing a huge list of require's
(02:39:11) lemme test
(02:41:03) ok
(02:41:06) so with eacc
(02:41:26) .25 req/sec with no accelerator (with or w/o require list)
(02:41:30) with eacc
(02:41:39) .55 req/sec w/autoload
(02:41:45) .49 w/ list of requires
the list of requires was literally just a list of
require('filea');
require('fileb');
etc at the top of the script. Yes, require, not require_once. No i
dont have how many files it was including here in my logs however
propel includes a lot of files so it should be a reasonable
comparison.
Can we please finally come to a conclusion on this subject? Test for
yourself or use these as a reference but PLEASE stop this FUD
surrounding autoload!
