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 twentyfourteen_list_authors() 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_users().

Scaling
Scales with input

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

Instructions
20–23

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 67.

Plugin surface
1 hook

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

Called by
0

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

What it touches

  • hookthird-party callbacksapply_filters()called directly
  • querycontent queryget_users()called directly
  • cacheobject cachewp_cache_get_last_changed()one call below twentyfourteen_list_authors()
  • optionoption read or writeget_option()one call below twentyfourteen_list_authors()

Further down the call graph this can also reach 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 twentyfourteen_list_authors() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

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.
