Cost profile

Measured from the compiled opcodes, not from a stopwatch. Every number here is identical on any machine that runs the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by these figures.

Cost class
Trivial

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling
Constant

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

Instructions
23

Executed per call on PHP 8.4. The body compiles to 23.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by
0

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

What it touches

Further down the call graph this can also reach option, query, 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 · 1 distinct outcome

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost add_object_page() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.4.
