Public bug reported: Dropping HANDLE_BLOCK_INTERRUPTIONS, which is only used by Apache 1, and is dropped in PHP7, leads to a 4-6% speedup on artificial benchmarks and a measurable speedup on real world applications.
I have written a patch to do this and submitted it upstream: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1532 The PHP folk are a little hesitant to merge it in case there's anyone downstream who has a custom server API that still uses the hooks. Ubuntu doesn't ship Apache 1, nor does it have any custom server APIs, so it's safe to be merged, giving all your users a speed boost. All the details and the patch are in the upstream submission, and I'm happy to answer any other questions or get it into whatever format is most useful for you. ** Affects: php5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527105 Title: Performance: drop HANDLE_BLOCK_INTERRUPTIONS support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1527105/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
