Description:
------------
All filesystem functions got much slower with PHP 5.x.
With short relative paths PHP 4 is about twice as fast as PHP 5. PHP 5 is nearly 10 times slower when using absolute paths compared to PHP 4.

Reproduce code:
---------------
function getMicrotime(){
  list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
  return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}

$iTime = getMicrotime();

$rHandle = opendir('C:/Apache2/htdocs/phpXplorer/test/vollvoll');

while (false !== ($sName = readdir($rHandle))) {
  if (is_dir('C:/Apache2/htdocs/phpXplorer/test/vollvoll/' . $sName)){
    echo 'C:/Apache2/htdocs/phpXplorer/test/vollvoll/' . $sName . '<br/>';
  }
}

echo getMicrotime() - $iTime;

Can't reproduce on Linux.

I think this has to be analysed on a Windows platform

Comparing PHP 5 with PHP 4 is like comparing apples and oranges. This is inherent problem in Windows, not a bug.

I know but a difference of 1:9 is not normal. This might be not a real bug but has to be kept in mind when working on the code. I think there could be done a lot of optimization.
Where to put an issue like that when the bug db is not the right place?

Wez, can you check this out, it's mainly your code anyway. :)
