Set the timezone correctly, otherwise it's expected to spend time trying to "autodetect" your timezone based on your system settings and looking in the timezone db. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-06 08:57:17] r dot craig at chester dot ac dot uk If I put date_default_timezone_set("Europe/London") at the top, performance is fine. But what was causing the slow-down and memory-usage? Any why only with the with the array assignment (Which was not timed)? Is it something to do with the E_NOTICEs? A notice was generated in E_STRICT on 5.1.6 but it didn't affect performance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-05 17:48:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't understand what you're talking about. Your code works 3x faster with 5.2.0 even WITH the array stuff. 0.37447214126587 (5.2.0) vs 0.96990513801575 (5.1.6) Try to set the timezone correctly? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-05 17:37:23] r dot craig at chester dot ac dot uk If I remove the strtotime() and just have the 4000 element array, it also works faster. If I just remove the _assignment_ from the return_some_stuff() if also works much faster. But this is a sumation of a live peice of code. I want to make a 4000 array and then call strtotime 3000 times times (Is this so Odd?). This is 10 times slower in 5.2.0 and uses 30 times as much memory. If I take out all the code and just have "echo 'Hello World'", It's also much faster, but that's not quite what I want to do! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-05 16:05:09] [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you remove the 4000-elements array, 5.2.0 works 3x-4x times faster than 5.1.6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-05 15:35:53] r dot craig at chester dot ac dot uk derick, but how does that compare to 5.1.6? The memory increase during the strtotime() loop, I see is with no php.ini (php -c /dev/null). E_STRICT gives me warnings on both 5.2 and 5.1.6, "strtotime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings... " etc. Is it perhaps something to do with logging this warning? I thought if strict was turned off it didn't log the error at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
