Performance profile

How much work a call to wp_add_editor_classic_theme_styles() 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

Reads or writes the filesystem via file_get_contents().

Scaling
Constant

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

Instructions
10–32

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 33.

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

  • filesystemfilesystem accessfile_get_contents()called directly
  • hookthird-party callbacksdo_action()one call below wp_add_editor_classic_theme_styles()

Further down the call graph this can also reach option, 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 · 2 distinct outcomes

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

WhenInstructionsCalls it makes

!wp_theme_has_theme_json()32_deprecated_function(), wp_theme_has_theme_json(), wp_scripts_get_suffix(), file_get_contents(), array_unshift()

Across PHP versions

Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 33 instructions, 10–32 executed per call, 1 branch. 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.
