Benchmarking

Benchmarking#

Epicrypt uses phpbench/phpbench for micro-benchmarking.

Benchmark Commands#

composer ic:bench:run
composer ic:bench:quick
composer ic:bench:chart

  • ic:bench:quick is tuned for fast local checks.

  • ic:bench:run is a fuller aggregate report.

Benchmark Suite Location#

Benchmarks live in:

  • benchmarks/*Bench.php

Current suite includes capability-level benchmarks for:

  • Crypto

  • Token

  • Security

  • Generate

  • Certificate

Notes for Useful Numbers#

  • Compare results on the same machine profile.

  • Prefer relative comparison between commits over absolute numbers.

  • OpenSSL key generation and RSA operations are naturally slower than symmetric primitives.

  • Run multiple passes if you are making performance-sensitive decisions.

Typical Workflow#

# before changes
composer ic:bench:quick

# make changes

# after changes
composer ic:bench:quick
