Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-20 00:47:59] tanguy dot pruvot at gmail dot com Please reopen this issue... "php -m" with php_curl : 3 seconds on a SSD disk "php -m" without curl : instant output Please read the previous answers, seems related to libeay32 ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-13 12:41:47] beta dot tests at hotmail dot com On the binaries and sources releases for windows i hope that this PHP 5.3 (5.3.4) isnt the final relese because i once i install the cURL is see a delay of at least 700ms to 1020ms, on windows xp 32bit using FastCGI ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-03 00:14:14] paj...@php.net Fixed in 5.3.4RC2, it will be present in 5.3 final. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-17 21:37:43] paj...@php.net The problem has been diagnosed, however it is not sure yet how and when it can be fixed. See the other comments for the details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-17 18:58:02] misc at themeads dot net Some additional data... I happened to still have 5.2.5 and 5.2.6 around on the harddrive, I dropped the php_curl.dll from each into my php5.2.14 installation, and they both were snappy and no delay. I put the 5.2.13 php_curl.dll back in there, and back to the 5-7 second delay. Note that the delay occurs whether you're actually exercising curl functions or not... i.e., a simple page with only phpinfo() call will also result in the same slowness. So it's just the act of loading the extension (which again, lends credence to the "initialization" cause... but again, this simply didn't exist in earlier versions of the extension, so the initialization changed, and introduced this delay. The submitter of this article indicated it was observed in 5.2.11, my testing confirmed it's in 5.2.13 as well. I'd be curious to see results of testing from 5.2.6 thru 5.2.11 to see where this delay was introduced, but unfortunately don't have copies of php in all those versions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
