Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_Customize_Background_Image_Setting::update() 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
Heavy

Reaches the database via WP_Customize_Background_Image_Setting::update().

Scaling
Constant

No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.

Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.

What it touches

  • sqldatabase queryWP_Customize_Background_Image_Setting::update()this function does it
  • optionoption read or writeget_option()one call below WP_Customize_Background_Image_Setting::update()

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

What one call costs · 1 distinct outcome

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

Across PHP versions

Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 5 instructions, 5 executed per call, 0 branches. The work does not change between versions.

An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.
