You’ve probably seen `use function strlen` in PHP and shrugged.

But here’s the twist: in certain cases, it activates a special compiler optimization in PHP that makes some functions significantly faster.

This is your eureka moment! Here’s how it works, when it matters, and how to adopt it easily: https://tideways.com/profiler/blog/compiler-optimized-php-functions?utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=compiler-optimized-php-functions

Did you know that for natural numbers:

{x: >= 0, y = 2ⁿ}

the follow holds true:

x mod y

is equal to

x & (y - 1)

Example:

31882511 mod 1024

is equal to

31882511 & 1023

(where `mod` is the modulo operation and `&` is bitwise-and)
