New Comment:
As the documentation says, array_intersect() internally compares the
values of the arrays as strings. This implies that non-string values
(such as integers) need to be converted to their equivalent string
values first before being compared, which obviously takes some time.
I suspect we'd be interested in a patch that improved the performance if
it maintained the existing comparison behaviour, but for now, I'm
closing this as it is documented.

Description:
------------
When array data is int value, array_intersect() speed VERY SLOW.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
ini_set('memory_limit', -1);
$data_a = rand_data(FALSE);
$data_b = rand_data(FALSE);
$time = microtime(TRUE);
$result = array_intersect($data_a, $data_b);
$time = microtime(TRUE) - $time;
echo " -> array_intersect by intval: {$time}, result: " . count($result)
. "\r\n";
$data_a = rand_data(TRUE);
$data_b = rand_data(TRUE);
$time = microtime(TRUE);
$result = array_intersect($data_a, $data_b);
$time = microtime(TRUE) - $time;
echo " -> array_intersect by string: {$time}, result: " . count($result)
. "\r\n";
function rand_data($need_string)
{
mt_srand();
$result = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < 300000; $i++)
{
if ($need_string === TRUE)
{
$result[] = (string)mt_rand();
}
else
{
$result[] = mt_rand();
}
}
return $result;
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
almost same?
Actual result:
--------------
-> array_intersect by intval: 10.661009073257, result: 47
-> array_intersect by string: 1.3067090511322, result: 41
