Description:
------------
the following code is run ~45 times slower compared to a similar C# code.
I run the test on several machines (32 & 64, Windows and Linux-on linux only the PHP).

Notice in the example below I give both PHP and C# codes I used.

Reproduce code:
---------------
//PHP
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
$start=time();
$arr = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0);
$x = 8;
for ($i=0;$i<94707441;$i++)
{
$x = $arr[$i%10];
$y = $arr[$i%7];
if ($x == $y)
{
$total += $x*$y;
//$words .= ','.$x;
}
}
echo $total."<Br>";

echo "total time : ".(time()-$start);

?>
//C#
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int startTime = Environment.TickCount;
int[] arr;
arr = new int[10] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 };


int x = 8;
int y=0;
int total=0;
for (int i = 0; i < 94707441; i++)
{
x = arr[i%10];
y = arr[i%7];
if(x == y)
total+=x*y;

}
Response.Write(total+"<br>");
int endTime = Environment.TickCount;
double executionTime = (double)(endTime - startTime) / 1000.0;

Response.Write("Page Execution time is " + executionTime + " seconds.");

Expected result:
----------------
at least execution time should be the same.

Actual result:
--------------
php runs much much slower X45 that asp.net

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Order-of-magnitude differences in execution times are ro be expected when comparing a compiled language with an interpreted one.  Try comparing PHP with other interpreted languages such as perl, Ruby, Python, etc.
