Twig C extension benchmark - Hugo Hamon

Hugo Hamon — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:56:22 +0100

Performances in PHP 5.4 have been increased a lot. So, I'm curious to compare if using the Twig C extension with PHP 5.4 has an effect or not.

@hugo, No, I didn't test it on PHP 5.4 yet, what do you expect with this version ?

@Jakub, 50% really? Do you have a benchmark about this ?

@Richard Miller, true, not so complex indeed, but it is called more than 100 times. (there are also tests and computations made at the start of the templates I didn't include in the snippet)

@Henrik, true, I have modified the post.

As the c extension only optimizes the usage of `getAttribute` it wouldnt make sense that it would improve upon includes and renders.

The twig extension just optimises the Twig_Template::getAttribute() method essentially anywhere you are using the dot syntax with variables, so the template used is not massively complicated in this respect.

Thanks for taking the time to benchmark twig! I think performance gain depends strongly on how your templates are built and in real-life applications most of the time it pays off to enable the extension. In one of the code bases I was optimising I managed to achieve 25-50% gain by just enabling the extension.

Hi Coil,

Thanks for sharing this. Did you try to bench with PHP 5.4?

Thanks for publishing these results. I haven't seen many real world benchmarks about the Twig extension. The results have really surprised me. I believed that the performance improvement would be larger, both for big and small applications.

@Dante: You are true. Fixed.

In your example, default locale for the session will always be "en" as you do not pass the second parameter which defines default locale setting. Just expand arguments like this:
arguments:

- @session.storage
- %locale%
