Description:
------------
file_exists, include, include_once, require, require_once and getimagesize are about 10x slower than their php4 version.

Using Apache 2.0.48, Windows XP
Php 5.0.0 versus Php 4.3.6 on the same computer.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Tested using this function either with file_exists, include, include_once, require, require_once and getimagesize 

function FileExists($file,$nb,$para="")
{
$aT=array();
$aT[0]=microtime(false);
for($t=0;$t<$nb;$t++){
    file_exists($file);
    }
$aT[1]=microtime(false);

return $aT;
}


Actual result:
--------------

It seems that the problem is related to several file-related functions. I have personally experienced this also with the is_dir function.
