Description:
------------
The performance of Mysqli in php5.3.1(mysqlnd) is signific slower than 
the performance in php 5.2.6. (I know it's not the best code, but it's 
in production, and I would expect 5.3.1 is as fast as 5.2.6 or faster.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
  $SERVER = "127.0.0.1";
  $USERNAME = "";
  $PASSWORD = "";
  $DATABASENAME = "";
  
  $high = 2000;
  $start = microtime(TRUE);
	for($i = 0; $i <$high; $i++)
	{
    $mysql = mysqli_connect($SERVER,$USERNAME,$PASSWORD,$DATABASENAME);
    mysqli_query($mysql, "UPDATE test SET title = '" . mysqli_real_escape_string($mysql,"test") . "' WHERE test_id = " . null);
    mysqli_close($mysql);
  }
  printf("time: %s secs, memory usage %s MiB.\n",
       number_format(microtime(TRUE) - $start, 2),
       number_format(memory_get_usage() / 1024 / 1024, 2));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
time: 1.83 secs, memory usage 0.15 MiB. (php 5.2.6)

Actual result:
--------------
time: 29.82 secs, memory usage 0.40 MiB

Can you adjust your test to see if its the connection, the query or the closing that's causing the problems?

If I move the connect and disconnect outside the loop, the speed is 
the (almost) the same.

php 5.2.6:
time: 0.27 secs, memory usage 0.15 MiB.
php 5.3.1:
time: 0.28 secs, memory usage 0.40 MiB.

moving the connect inside the loop again (keeping the disconnect 
outside)

php5.2.6:
time: 1.82 secs, memory usage 0.15 MiB.
php5.3.1:
time: 31.11 secs, memory usage 0.40 MiB.

So I guess it's the connect.

That's expected as mysqlnd uses php's stream. That brings a small overhead over raw sockets.
