Relative Standard Deviation (Standard Deviation/Average)

Our lab does a nightly source pull and build of the PHP project and measures
performance changes against the previous stable version and the previous nightly
measurement. This is provided as a service to the community so that quality
issues with current hardware can be identified quickly.

Intel technologies' features and benefits depend on system configuration and may
require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies
depending on system configuration.

I'm wondering why Mandelbrot.php has gone down by -21%. Compare the
commits since the previous benchmark:

https://github.com/php/php-src/compare/a6cc322b4da9fa32faeb7d5aa43ddf7202a19ae4...366ba41334870f325f248d8e486e3ebf8bafb984

I wondered if my void return type commit was the culprit for the
Mandelbrot slowdown, but having looked at what Mandelbrot.php does, it
doesn't seem like it would be affected. There's very few function calls
in there.

Dmitry changed some things in opcache, could that be it?

Thanks.

Please ignore the Mandelbrot result. It seems it was a measurement error, as
we were unable to reproduce it on the same commit with additional runs.

Please ignore the Mandelbrot result. It seems it was a measurement error, as
we were unable to reproduce it on the same commit with additional runs.

Perhaps it would be possible to automatically trigger additional runs in case a result shows a drastic change like that? Just to eliminate false outliers. These benchmarks are a great sanity check which can catch small changes that have inadvertent performance hits, but we need to have confidence in the numbers otherwise people will start ignoring them.
