I have been checking for more than one year the productivity with different versions of PHP. The fastest PHP working on aaPanel is 7.3. the difference in productivity:
Between 7.3 and 7.4 ~ 80% (PHP 7.3 faster)
Between 7.3 and 8.0 ~ 90% (PHP 7.3 faster)
Checked with benchmark and website loading time.
Could anybody explain this?
