Summary0002407: Performance issues with 3.5.1 vs 3.4
Description

I updated my PHP and Xdebug today.
Some performance testing scripts i have suddenly saw issues.
Saw the other tickets concerning performance issues and can say 3.5.1 is better compared to 3.5.0 but not to earlier versions.

CPU: AMD 5700G
All of this was done on PHP 8.3.30 since Xdebug 3.4.7 was not available for PHP 8.5.x.

Steps To Reproduce

I've attached a simple script that loops through if statements using == and === and measures performance between them. Nothing special but it allows a stable performance comparison.

Xdebug 3.4.7:
== with matching strings took 1.211257 seconds
== with non-matching strings took 1.252350 seconds
=== with matching strings took 1.295035 seconds
=== with non-matching strings took 1.309487 seconds

Xdebug 3.5.0:
== with matching strings took 24.441501 seconds
== with non-matching strings took 24.591401 seconds
=== with matching strings took 24.634848 seconds
=== with non-matching strings took 24.689718 seconds

Xdebug 3.5.1:
== with matching strings took 7.929764 seconds
== with non-matching strings took 8.108500 seconds
=== with matching strings took 8.093506 seconds
=== with non-matching strings took 8.169023 seconds
