Description:

Has the date function slowed from PHP 5.0.5 to PHP 5.1.1?

When testing with the code below, my output is:
PHP 5.0.5: 0.044
PHP 5.1.1: 0.938

If I comment out the $d = ... line, my output is:
PHP 5.0.5: 0.003
PHP 5.1.1: 0.001

...so I know it's the date function that is responsible for the slower time.

Has anyone else seen evidence of this?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function get_microtime() {
	list($usec,$sec) = explode(" ",microtime());
	return((float)$sec + (float)$usec);
}
$t1 = get_microtime();
for ($x=0; $x<10000; $x++) {
	$d = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
}
$t2 = get_microtime();
printf("%.3f\n",($t2-$t1));
?>
