Summary0000765: Xdebug slows down PHP execution 30%-50% when running inside VirtualBox
Description

Hi,

I run php-fpm 5.3.9 with xdebug git (2.2dev) in virtualbox and it cause PHP to run 50% slower (a test page results from 170ms (xdebug disabled) to 250ms (xdebug enabled), tested several times.). I realize that using xdebug will require more run time for PHP, but I have used it before in windows and it doesn't make that much of slowdown.

Here are the settings I used
[xdebug]
zend_extension=/opt/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so
xdebug.overload_var_dump=0

Other details:
Arch linux 32 bit
PHP 5.3.9 with fpm SAPI, APC enabled
Virtualbox 4.1.6 running inside Windows XP 32 bit
Core 2 duo E8400 (No VT-x)

TagsNo tags attached.
Operating System
PHP Version5.3.8

I've the same problem.

The spec of my host system:
W7 Pro 64bit, i7-980X @ 3.33GHz, 12GB RAM, Intel X25-M G2 160GB

The guest system:
Debian Wheezy 64bit , running Nginx, PHP-FPM, Memcache, Mysql

I downloaded and compiled PHP 5.4.14 from source for CLI and cloned xdebug from github (commit 917809729a846bfeb19f2815c61c06a7df6d2b0f ).

The following is my sample benchmark (ten millions; 7 zeros):
time php -r 'for ($i = 0; $i < 10000000; $i++) { sha1("foo"); }'

When I run it with xdebug disabled, I get:
real 0m3.928s
user 0m3.924s
sys 0m0.000s

When I run with xdebug enabled, I get:
real 0m55.605s
user 0m1.488s
sys 0m54.115s

I enabled xdebug just by adding the appropriate zend_extension .

I did not change or set any xdebug settings, everything is the default.

I exported the VirtualMachine to VMWare and did the same tests. Running on VMWare no slowdown comparing running with our without xdebug was observes (in exactly the same configuration).

I am going to close this as a "I don't know what to do this".

I can't really reproduce this - it runs a little slower in VirtualBox, but I expect that.
