PHP ÷ Perl | Computer Language Benchmarks Game

Step 1 : Are the PHP programs faster? At a glance.

This chart shows 3 comparisons - Time-used, Memory-used and Code-used.

Each chart bar shows, for one unidentified benchmark, how much the fastest PHP program used compared to the fastest Perl program.

This table shows 3 comparisons - Time-used, Memory-used and Code-used.

Each table row shows, for one named benchmark, how much the fastest PHP program used compared to the fastest Perl program.

PHP used what fraction? used how many times more?

nsieve	±	¹/₁₅	±
regex-dna	±	±	2×	100,000
binary-trees	±	2×	±
mandelbrot	±	2×	±
spectral-norm	±	±	±
recursive	±	2×	±
partial-sums	2×	2×	±

± read the measurements and then read the program source code.

This table shows 5 measurements - CPU Time, Elapsed Time, Memory, Code and ~ CPU Load.

For each named benchmark, measurements of the fastest PHP program are shown for comparison against measurements of the fastest Perl program.
