The difference is not constant. It grows in proportion to the time since the last 
restart Apache. At the beginning it is a few milliseconds. After a few days up to 
several seconds.
 [2013-03-07 08:12 UTC] ab@php.net 
Which apache build are you using? Please try 2.4.4 from here http://www.apachelounge.com/download/additional/ . Also, is the behavior the same in the CLI?
 [2013-03-07 08:35 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
I use
Apache 2.4.3 from www.apachelounge.com
or
Apache 2.2.21 from www.apachelounge.com

The problem is only on php 5.5. Php 5.4 no problems.

I will download Apache 2.4.4 from www.apachelounge.com.
But I do not think it's something to help because php 5.4 not affected.
 [2013-03-07 08:38 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
...and I use Apache VC10
PHP as php5apache2_4.dll from php package.
 [2013-03-07 08:45 UTC] ab@php.net 
Yep, that were my next question :) That's not a good idea to mix CRTs, please use VC11 for both Apache and PHP. You can get a php build for alpha5 here http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/php-5.5vc11/php-5.5.0alpha5/ or one of the latest snapshots http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/php-5.5/
 [2013-03-07 08:55 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
Ok,

I will download: http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win32/binaries/httpd-2.4.4-
win32-VC9.zip

and I will try it with official QA Releases PHP 5.5a5 ts VC9.
 [2013-03-07 09:21 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
Ok, I have now installed at home in local machine:

Apache 2.4.4 VC9
http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win32/binaries/httpd-2.4.4-win32-VC9.zip

and as php5apache2_4.dll

PHP 5.5a5 ts VC9
http://windows.php.net/downloads/qa/php-5.5.0alpha5-Win32-VC9-x86.zip


It took about 5 minutes from the restart the server.
created in -10 ms

...and with each page refresh slowly growing.
I think it will be an hour: -100ms
 [2013-03-07 09:27 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
It's been 10 minutes from the restart.
created in -52.985191345215 ms

Something is wrong with this PHP 5.5 because 5.4 does not have this problem.
 [2013-03-07 09:28 UTC] ab@php.net 
Why VC9? alpha5 is probably the last 5.5 VC9 build. VC11 has however no improvmenent on my side. And how does CLI look on your side?
 [2013-03-07 09:32 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
Please wait a moment. Be installing the VC11.
 [2013-03-07 09:41 UTC] ab@php.net 
That's what I get in CLI

$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']: 1362649203<br/>
$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT']: 1362649203.6687<br/>
time(): 1362649203<br/>
microtime(true): 1362649203.6699<br/><br/>
PHP 5.5.0-dev<br/>
created in 1.6520023345947 ms

Looks more or less OK. Probably this is an apache specific bug.
 [2013-03-07 09:45 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
This may not be a Apache problem because PHP 5.(3|4) has no problem.

Ok, I have now installed at home in local machine:

Apache 2.4.4 VC11
http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win32/binaries/httpd-2.4.4-win32-VC11.zip

and as php5apache2_4.dll

PHP 5.5a5 ts VC11
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/php-5.5vc11/php-5.5.0alpha5/php-
5.5.0alpha5-Win32-VC11-x86.zip


It seems that the problem is resolved.
But to be sure I have to wait a few hours and check on several other machines.

I will describe the results soon.

Is the final PHP 5.5 will be compiled using VC11?
 [2013-03-07 09:58 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
Unfortunately excited too quickly.

As you can see the problem occurs on various compilations Apache and PHP.

But only for PHP 5.5. Not for 5.4.
 [2013-03-07 10:35 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
There is no problem on mod_fcgid.so

Only with php5apache2_4.dll and ONLY PHP 5.5.

@bugzilla77 I've uploaded a build based on patched sources here   http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ostc/build/64370/ . Ideally you could test ts as apache module and nts as fcgi with apache or iis.
 [2013-03-08 11:27 UTC] bugzilla77 at gmail dot com 
I'm testing ts as apache module about half hour and "created in" is always 
positive.

Bug resolved! Many thanks!
Super - I'm waiting for official PHP 5.5 beta 1 ;)

----

With fcgi this problem has never occured.
Checking and it is (as before) ok.

@bugzilla77 could you please try this official snap http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/php-5.5/re5c64c0/ . On win8 you might get better accuracy, on win7 and older much predictable results and less randomness.
 [2013-03-12 08:11 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
leave it assigned, if tests pass for 5.5, it has to be merged to 5.3 and 5.4.

The latest tests on 5.5 showed no regressions, so merged back into 5.3 and 5.4.
