PHP Router Benchmark
The intent here is to benchmark different PHP routing solutions. This is a micro-optimization, done purely out of dumb curiosity.
Installation
Clone the repo, run composer install, run php run-tests.php.
You can install the Pux extension to test that as well. If the extension is not installed, the tests will fallback to the pure PHP implementation of Pux.
To test the R3 library, you also need to install that extension. If the extension is not installed, the tests for R3 will be skipped.
Currently
The current test creates 1000 routes, each with a randomized prefix and postfix, with 9 parameters each.
It was run with the Pux and R3 extensions enabled.
An example route: /9b37eef21e/{arg1}/{arg2}/{arg3}/{arg4}/{arg5}/{arg6}/{arg7}/{arg8}/{arg9}/bda37e9f9b
Worst-case matching
This benchmark matches the last route and unknown route. It generates a randomly prefixed and suffixed route in an attempt to thwart any optimization. 1,000 routes each with 9 arguments.
This benchmark consists of 12 tests. Each test is executed 1,000 times, the results pruned, and then averaged. Values that fall outside of 3 standard deviations of the mean are discarded.

First route matching
This benchmark tests how quickly each router can match the first route. 1,000 routes each with 9 arguments.
This benchmark consists of 6 tests. Each test is executed 1,000 times, the results pruned, and then averaged. Values that fall outside of 3 standard deviations of the mean are discarded.
