PHP 7.2 to 7.3 10x performance improvement?
We upgraded a job from php 7.2 to 7.3 and it runs right at 10x faster. Anyone else seen that? Tested on several different systems and the results are consistent. The code is very array heavy.
(Some recommendations: Make sure that the run time of each version is at least 1 or 2 seconds. Repeat the measurement 5 or 10 times, preferably in some pattern like ABABABABAB, Not AAAAABBBBB. Repeat this with different arrays sizes to have a guess of the complexity order and see if the reduction is constant on the startup time or is proportional to the total time. Make some graphics, graphics are nice.)
