Performance profile

How much work a call to wp_xmlrpc_server::_prepare_post() 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 get_post().

Scaling

Scales with input

The body loops, so the work grows with what you pass in.

Instructions

125–220

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 234.

Plugin surface

1 hook

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

Called by

3

3 places in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.

What it touches

• querycontent queryget_post()called directly
• hookthird-party callbacksapply_filters()called directly
• optionoption read or writeget_option()one call below wp_xmlrpc_server::_prepare_post()

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 · 96 distinct outcomes

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

Hooks and filters fired · 1

One hook fires while wp_xmlrpc_server::_prepare_post() runs, in this order:

1. 1
   apply_filters( xmlrpc_prepare_post )filterline 996 (+90 into the body)

Parsed data

Generated from the wordpress-develop 6.7.7 tag, from src/wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php, and regenerated for each WordPress release so it tracks the code rather than a snapshot of it.
