Got a couple systems running Apache 2.4.10 (x86) with PHP 5.5.17 as a module, and they've been behaving exceptionally well, running under Windows 7 x64. (Went with x86 Apache/PHP as PHP calls the 64 bit builds experimental, so playing it safe.)
Last night I went and upgraded one of them to PHP 5.6.0, identical PHP configuration, nothing changed on the Apache side. No Zend Optimizer or anything running at the moment. It works, but it seems sluggish. As a test I tossed on a fresh WordPress 4.0 install, straight out of the box vanilla install. With 5.5.17, it's pretty much as instant as it gets, super snappy; with 5.6.0, it can take 2-3 seconds to load a page.. nothing extreme but definitely noticeable. Didn't find anything on WP's site saying there's issues with 5.6.0. Had similar results with Joomla, again a vanilla "test install."
Anyone else run into this, or maybe I just missed something blatantly obvious? I don't mind stay with 5.5.17, it's working perfectly, just curious if I should be aware of something with the 5.6 series. Thanks. |

| I am running Drupal7 and Wordpress 3.x with PHP 5.6.1RC1 as mod_fcgid with php_opcache.dll enabled. The sites are as snappy as they were on PHP 5.5.x. Apache and PHP are 32-bits. |

Thanks for the info -- I just tried 5.6.1 final as it was just released, seems like whatever the issue was with 5.6.0 was taken care of, it's nice and speedy again. |
