[1.x] Speeds up CLI and tests by enabling OpCache

[lukeraymonddowning]

Hi all,

So I've been toying around with eeking out further performance when running tests. I notice that in Sail, OpCache is enabled with validate_timestamps set to 1 and revalidate_freq set to 0 so that changes are applied immediately. However, enable_cli is disabled (as is the default for OpCache).

By enabling this flag, we can significantly improve the time is takes to execute tests inside Sail. On a project running L10, Pest v2 with parallel enabled, I was able to reduce the time to run the test suite from 51s to 42s, ~20% improvement. No other changes were made.

Thanks as always for all the hard work.

Kind Regards,
Luke

You have successfully added a new shellcheck configuration differential-shellcheck. As part of the setup process, we have scanned this repository and found no existing alerts. In the future, you will see all code scanning alerts on the repository Security tab.

If I'm not mistaken PHP didn't recommend enabling Opcache for CLI in the past, but this seems to be changed: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25044817/zend-opcache-opcache-enable-cli-1-or-0-what-does-it-do

I could not find why they removed the warning, maybe more Opcache settings should be tweaked for this to work properly.
