Hi everyone, my company website decided to upgrade to smarty 3 from smarty 2.
However, we have noticed big difference in performance. So we made the following benchmarks for analysis.

Background:
- Script is doing 500 runs of a function, with 450 microseconds sleep in between.
- Each function includes instantiation of the smarty object, a $smarty->display of a base template that includes a header tpl, display the content of a fetched footer tpl and one simple assigned var.
- No template compiling was required. (Tpls were already compiled.)
- Then an average elapsed time is calculated and stored in session

Result - Smarty 2:
Code:

2.6.19  // smarty version

previous:
Array
(
    [0] => 0.0007626276032     // average elapsed time of 500 $smarty->display()
    [1] => 0.0006898279186
    [2] => 0.0007515878676
    [3] => 0.0007296662286
    [4] => 0.0006703367236
    [5] => 0.000763019561
    [6] => 0.0006627821936
    [7] => 0.00067408991
    [8] => 0.0006789131152
    [9] => 0.0007295136448

Avg from previous
0.00071123647662        // average elapsed time of 10 runs


Result - Smarty 3:
Code:

Smarty-3.0.8       // smarty version

previous:
Array
(
    [0] => 0.001182794093    // average elapsed time of 500 $smarty->display()
    [1] => 0.0011434893604
    [2] => 0.0010536174778
    [3] => 0.0010419712094
    [4] => 0.0011102046968
    [5] => 0.0010875434872
    [6] => 0.0011334052082
    [7] => 0.0011139659906
    [8] => 0.0011450152376
    [9] => 0.0011299881958

Avg from previous
0.00111419949568        // average elapsed time of 10 runs


You can see that the performance of smarty 3 is no better than smarty 2. And we cannot enable tpl caching since we implements our own caching system.

Would anyone be able to advise me on this? Thanks in advance.

To provide better investigation, I have included the contents of templates below.

Code:

// base.tpl.smrt
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
{$PAGEHEADER}

{$CONTENT}

{include file="page_footer.smrt.tpl"}

</html>

Code:

// header.tpl.smrt
<head>
   <title>{$version} Benchmarking</title>
</head>
<body>
   <div>
      <h2>This is the header</h2>
   </div>

Code:

// footer.tpl.smrt
<div>
   <h5>This is the footer</h5>
</div>
</body>

Smarty 3 probably isn't going to out perform Smarty 2 in very simple cases. Most improvements are seen in more complete use-cases (many tpl includes, etc.) It would be interesting to see how your tests look against 3.1 beta, which is currently available in the branches directory. 3.1 has many internal performance tweaks that may affect simpler cases.

I will try with more complicated tpls and let you know the new results.

The following results are from a more complicated header and footer tpls, which uses {include}, customized modifiers, functions..etc.

maybe i'm not the right person to comment on this post because i'm a newbie with php and smarty.
i think is normal to don't see any diference ... behind the smarty is php and your php version and your functions are unchanged so...
is smarty changing your php code and optimize it?
