Description:
------------
str_tr is 5-10% faster than str_replace. You should mention it in documentation or 
make str_replace as fast as str_tr



Test script:
---------------
<?php
 
function f1() {
  for($i=0; $i<1000000; ++$i) {
    $new_string = strtr("http://onlinecasinosdoc.com.au/", ".com", "");
  }
}
function f2() {
  for($i=0; $i<1000000; ++$i) {
    $new_string = str_replace("http://onlinecasinosdoc.com.au/", ".com", "");
  }
}
$start = microtime(true);
f1();
$stop = microtime(true);
$time1 = $stop - $start;
 
$start = microtime(true);
f2();
$stop = microtime(true);
$time2 = $stop - $start;
 
echo $time1 . "\t";
echo $time2 . "\n";

Expected result:
----------------
This behavior should be mentioned in documentation

Actual result:
--------------
You don't understand what is the difference between strtr and str_replace

They do different things — which one you use should be based on what you need to do, not micro-optimisation.
