Performance profile

How much work a call to update_ignored_hooked_blocks_postmeta() 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

Constant

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

Instructions

4–116

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 122.

Plugin surface

None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by

1

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

• serializeserialisationjson_decode()called directly
• hookthird-party callbacksapply_filters()one call below update_ignored_hooked_blocks_postmeta()

Further down the call graph this can also reach cache, option 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 · 7 distinct outcomes

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