Performance profile

How much work a call to wp_maybe_enqueue_oembed_host_js() 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
Trivial

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling
Constant

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

7–12

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 12.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

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

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.
