What's Changed

• libuv bumped to 1.52.1 — versions below 1.52.1 have known IO-URING issues on Linux; all UNIX/Linux builds and Docker images now ship with the fixed version.
• OPcache production config in Docker images — both php-true-async (Debian) and FrankenPHP images now ship with a tuned opcache.ini out of the box: JIT tracing mode, validate_timestamps=0 (files don't change in containers), 256 MB bytecode cache, 128 MB JIT buffer.

Performance Benchmarks

We ran a realistic benchmark against Laravel + PostgreSQL (10 SQL queries per request, 1000 req/s constant load, 30s duration) comparing TrueAsync against Swoole NTS, Swoole ZTS, and FrankenPHP Octane.

Throughput (16 workers)

TrueAsync handles the full target load with just 4 workers. Blocking servers need ~25 workers to reach the same throughput — a 6× worker efficiency advantage.

Latency at 4 workers

The entire difference is queue wait: with 4 blocking workers at 1000 req/s, requests sit in queue for ~5,400 ms. TrueAsync coroutines handle requests immediately — queue wait is ~0 ms.

Memory footprint (idle)

Each Swoole worker bootstraps its own full copy of the Laravel application (~22 MB/worker). TrueAsync coroutines share the bootstrap within a single worker — ~2.5 MB per coroutine, ~89% less than Swoole (9× lighter).
