PHPBench

PHPBench is a benchmark suite for PHP. It performs a large number of simple tests in order to bench various aspects of the PHP interpreter. PHPBench can be used to compare hardware, operating systems, PHP versions, PHP accelerators and caches, compiler options, etc. The number of iterations used is 1,000,000. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
