CURL Slowing down when sending multiple requests

Hi,

I reinstalled PHP and updated curl.

Ever since I did this, it seems like curl requests got slow.

I have a script which sends +1500 requests via CURL PHP after each other in a foreach loop. It goes from 0.02 second response time, to 0.2 seconds in less than 10 seconds. The response time keep increasing.

I can confirm this is not a problem with the API I am connecting to, since when I re-start the PHP Script it goes back to 0.02 again.

Any ideas what could be wrong? It seems like I need to restart the PHP script constantly to speed it up.

It only seems to happen if you send multiple requests, under same script instance. You can restart the script to "flush" the delay, but it keeps building up after the exact amount of requests.

What could be the problem? Any help debugging?

Curl updater in addons.

Then reinstalled php 7.2 and ion cube.

 

I'm not sure how to do that, as the curl version is already updated and I can not check the transaction id.

Code:

curl 7.63.0 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.63.0 NSS/3.36 zlib/1.2.7 libpsl/0.7.0 (+libicu/50.1.2) libssh2/1.8.0 nghttp2/1.31.1
Release-Date: 2018-12-12
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile GSS-API Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz HTTP2 UnixSockets HTTPS-proxy PSL Metalink

 

I have made a test script, it simply loops the request. After around 150 requests, it's significant slower.

How can I downgrade CURL Version? I suspect that may be it.

I also removed SWAP from my server, could that have anything to do with it? The installations etc? @eva2000

 

Fixed by downgrading CURL, finally figured out how.

 

Yes I did.
Do you think it's just CURL that is slower in general for php after that upgrade, or some new settings?
