Just a little follow-up to my own post.
From the latest expriments I've done with a fresh install of OS X 10.4 (with
the latest 10.4.3 beta update), it seems to point to an IO problem.
My test site uses mambo as a CMS, and I've inclued collecting of
microseconds timestamps at key points of the index file, and whenever it
includes some files it slows down. It's worse when there are several nested
includes. One other point is the mysql db connection.
I must recall to all that when called from the cli, it's ok. Only when
called from apache (1 or 2), dso or static and only on Mac OS X 10.4 (it's
ok with 10.3 and 10.2) I expericed a major slowdown. For all tests, all
config is the same, libraries and binaries where all the same on all
systems.
I've tried compiling php as cgi also, it helps a little bit, but it's still
too slow...
Thanks for any hints...

Subject: php Slow with Mac OS X 10.4
Hi all !
Here, we've got several Mac computer acting as servers to serve many kinds
of sites. One of wich was running, until the middle of august, Mac OS X
10.2. It was then with apache 1.3.x, and php 4.3.10 dso. All things were
"normal".
At the middle of august, we upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4 (re-install from
scratch). Now, it's with apache2, php 4.4.0 dso. Now, everthing that is
php
is slow as hell. A page that took normally less than a second to render,
now
takes up to 15 ! Yes, fifteen seconds. That depends of course on the
general
load of the server, but it nevers goes down under 8 to 10 seconds.
The machine is a dual G4, with 1.5 gigs of ram.
Now, if I go to the command line, in the directory of this site and type
"php index.php", it renders in about 1 to 1.5 seconds, wich is acceptable.
I did tests with :
- apache 1, php 4, php 5, all static or dso
- apache 2, php 4, php 5, dso
- php 4.3, php 4.4
- Stock php that comes with Tiger
- Stock apache that comes with Tiger
- Different compile options with mysql as --with-mysql
and --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
- I've also tried with and without zend optimizer, turck mmcache.
All with the same results.
In my test case, there is mysql involved, but it's irrelevent to the
problem, since the mysql is an another machine and is the same all trough
my
tests.
Now, in a different server room, we have a set of 3 xserves cluster node
dual g5 with 4 gigs of ram each. One of them was upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4
(server) and the other 2 are still with 10.3.
If I take the same setup (same compile options, same versions) on these
machines, the exact same site is slow as hell on the 10.4, and lightning
fast on 10.3.
Here's my php configure command :
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-fbsql
--with-xml --enable-ftp --with-curl=/sw --with-zlib --with-png-dir=/sw --with-jpeg-dir=/sw
--with-gd --with-ttf=/sw --with-freetype-dir=/sw --enable-track-vars --enable-trans-id
--disable-debug
This is really begins to bugs me...
Any hints ?
