PHP Router Benchmark

The intent here is to benchmark different PHP routing solutions. This is a micro-optimization, done purely out of dumb curiosity.

• the test script is forked form https://github.com/tyler-sommer/php-router-benchmark
• test frmaework is: https://github.com/ulue/nice-bench. it is forked form nice/bench
• Test time 2017.12.03

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

php run-worst-tests.php

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 22 tests. Each test is executed 1,000 times, the results pruned, and then averaged. Values that fall outside of 3 standard d eviations of the mean are discarded.

First route matching

php run-first-tests.php

This benchmark tests how quickly each router can match the first route. 1,000 routes each with 9 arguments.

This benchmark consists of 11 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.
