Description:
------------
Difference in speed between 7.1 and 7.2 of unserialize() = >3x
In my test 0.8s vs 0.28s on my PC

Test script:
---------------
$structure = array(
		0,
		true,
		"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd",
		[1, 2, 3, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccccccccccccccccc", false]
		);
$encoded = serialize($structure);
$ts = microtime(true);
for ($i=0; $i<100000; $i++)
	$structure = unserialize($encoded);
print (microtime(true) - $ts);



Expected result:
----------------
similar to results of PHP 7.1

Actual result:
--------------
slower >3x

Thanks for the report. I've tried the snippet and actually don't see any slowdown, by numbers here using current dev trees.

7.1: 0.38896012306213
7.2: 0.31357884407043
master: 0.1246612071991

Either it's something HW or environment specific :/ Perhaps you could check with the current snapshots, it could be that something has changed since last RCs. Also be sure the builds you use are of same bitness and thread safety.

Thanks.

I tested on these builds:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-7.1.11-nts-Win32-VC14-x64.zip
http://windows.php.net/downloads/qa/php-7.2.0RC6-nts-Win32-VC15-x64.zip

Windows + Nginx + PHP-FPM

Where I can download latest snapshot for Windows x64 non thread safe?

Additional information: 7.1.11 also has this problem.
7.1.5 is much faster!
 [2017-11-15 09:31 UTC] sailormax at inbox dot lv 
Rechecked: the problem was appear in 7.1.10! (7.1.9 was fine)
 [2017-11-15 09:39 UTC] sailormax at inbox dot lv 
7.1.9 from here: http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/php-7.1.9-nts-Win32-VC14-x64.zip

7.1.10 from here: http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/php-7.1.10-nts-Win32-VC14-x64.zip

latest snapshot of PHP 7.2 has same problem.

Most likely caused by https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/6b2813c3a735af0cf66c5c921752b36f169be000, which is the only unserialize change in 7.1.10.

We might want to backport the parse_iv2 implementation from master, if this is really the cause of the regression.
