Windows IIS FastCGI Spin-Up Performance Slowdown

Description

Default Form:

The following code:

<?php
$obj = array("loaded"=>microtime(true),"version"=>phpversion());
# Sleep in order to ensure new fastcgis spin up with provided Powershell Script.
sleep(2);
echo json_encode($obj);
?>

Resulted in this output:
2-3 times slower fastcgi spin up time versus older versions.

{"loaded":<epoch micro time>,"version":<php version>}

But I expected this output instead:
Similar FastCGI Spin up times to older versions

{"loaded":<epoch micro time>,"version":<php version>}

Observed Behavior

Starting at about PHP 8.1.2, The amount of time it takes the php-cgi.exe to spin up once called by IIS' w3wp process has doubled to tripled based on tests I have done. With bare-bones PHP code and Out-Of-Box ini configs, the load times for my local tests have gone from ~.05 seconds for pre PHP 8.1.2 to ~.10-.15 seconds. It's almost unnoticeable but it does leave a possibility of IIS having a higher chance to enter a race condition where it spend too much time spinning up the FastCGI instances versus handling the incoming requests during a sudden influx of traffic.

Testing Conditions

I threw the above PHP script on an IIS server and measured when PHP was able to microtime itself with older versions versus 8.1.2+ versions. My powershell script would timestamp itself, call the page with no FastCGIs running, and then calculate the difference. It was easier to see this performance difference when I ran these requests in parrallel in order to spin up more than just 1 FastCGI at a time. I was also able to get some performance back by disabling opcache, so not sure if that hints at any possible clues.

#Call the php script.
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get  $url

#Calculate the two timestamps.
$diff = $response.loaded - $local_time

#Output version of PHP (For Sanity Checking).
$version = $response.version

#Echos data to console.
"Load_Time : $diff |Version : $version"
    
  }
}

Disclaimer

This is my first bug report to PHP so please feel free to critique my submission and suggest corrective actions. I spent a good amount of time trying to make sure this wasn't something I was messing up on my end, but I do believe that there is still room for me to make a mistake here if I am overlooking something.
