Hah, your values led me to think about it... then I realized I've been playing around with Xen lately and was currently running the Xen kernel. This was having a huge performance penalty on my system... which is odd since I have a Quad Phenom Black Edition (must be at the kernel level then since my CPU load is miniscule). Anyways, rebooting to the non Xen kernel I get the following numbers which reflect the same distribution but are MUCH faster lol. shell:~> time php5 -qC test.echo.php > /dev/null real 0m10.622s user 0m5.380s sys 0m4.680s shell:~> time php5 -qC test.concat.php > /dev/null real 0m4.875s user 0m3.990s sys 0m0.870s shell:~> time php5 -qC test.interpol.php > /dev/null real 0m4.799s user 0m3.740s sys 0m1.050s shell:~> time php5 -qC test.heredoc.php > /dev/null real 0m4.901s user 0m3.750s sys 0m1.070s Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
