Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.

Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_Automatic_Updater::send_debug_email() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class

Expensive

Sends mail via wp_mail().

Scaling

Scales with input

The body loops, so the work grows with how much data it finds.

Instructions

102–142

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 376.

Plugin surface

1 hook

Third-party callbacks on 'automatic_updates_debug_email' run inside this call, and their cost is not bounded by anything here.

Further down the call graph this can also reach cache, serialize and transient. Those are the worst case, several calls deep and usually down an error path, not what a normal call pays.

What one call costs · 48 distinct outcomes

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost WP_Automatic_Updater::send_debug_email() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.
