ASCOOS OS — cloneObject() Benchmark Report

Introduction

The TObject class is one of the most fundamental and architecturally refined components of the ASCOOS OS core. Its cloneObject() method provides deep, shallow, structural, and selective cloning capabilities with exceptional performance and stability.

This stress test was executed using a dataset of 1,000,000 elements inside the properties array, with 300 repetitions per mode, while the system had 429 core classes loaded (Deep + Extras). The results demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the TObject architecture under extreme load.

Executive Summary

The benchmark results demonstrate that the TObject class of ASCOOS OS delivers one of the most efficient and scalable object-cloning implementations found in a PHP-based core. Its behavior remains exceptionally stable even under extreme load conditions, such as the stress test with 1,000,000 elements × 300 runs.

The DEEP, SHALLOW, PROPERTIES-ONLY, and DEEP-PROPERTY-ONLY modes exhibit near-constant performance in both time and memory usage, regardless of dataset size. This confirms that TObject’s architecture is designed with performance, predictability, and minimal resource consumption in mind.

The STRUCTURAL mode is the only one that shows linear growth in CPU and RAM usage. This behavior is expected, as the mode reconstructs the entire properties tree from scratch. Despite its higher cost, its performance remains stable and fully predictable.

Overall, TObject::cloneObject() proves to be highly reliable, extremely fast, and fully stable across all cloning modes. Its performance characteristics validate the architectural quality of ASCOOS OS and its ability to handle large datasets without degradation in speed or memory efficiency.

With only 13.06 MB RAM usage and 0.606 sec load time for 429 classes, ASCOOS OS demonstrates that it stands among the most lightweight and efficient PHP-based cores in its category.

Comparative Chart Across 5,000 / 100,000 / 1,000,000 Elements

The chart below illustrates how the average execution time (Avg Time) of TObject::cloneObject() scales as the dataset grows. STRUCTURAL is used as the 100% reference point.

All modes except STRUCTURAL remain almost constant even at 1,000,000 elements. STRUCTURAL increases linearly, as expected, due to full reconstruction of the properties tree.

Overall Performance Summary

The benchmark results demonstrate that the TObject class of ASCOOS OS is exceptionally efficient and highly scalable. The DEEP, SHALLOW, PROPERTIES-ONLY, and DEEP-PROPERTY-ONLY modes maintain almost constant performance, regardless of dataset size.

The STRUCTURAL mode is the only one that increases significantly in both time and memory, which is expected since it reconstructs the entire properties tree. Its behavior is linear and predictable.

Overall, TObject::cloneObject() proves to be extremely stable and performant, even under extreme conditions (1,000,000 elements × 300 runs). This confirms the robustness and architectural quality of the ASCOOS OS core.

Key Takeaways

• TObject is extremely efficient — Most modes have near-zero CPU and RAM cost.
• STRUCTURAL is the only “heavy” mode — Its linear growth is expected and predictable.
• DEEP-PROPERTY-ONLY is the most efficient selective clone — Deep cloning only where needed, at shallow-level cost.
• The system remains stable under extreme datasets — Even at 1,000,000 elements × 300 runs, no instability or memory leaks occur.
• The ASCOOS OS core is exceptionally lightweight — 13.06 MB RAM and 0.606 sec load time for 429 classes.
• TObject’s architecture is fully scalable — Reference-based modes are unaffected by dataset size.
• STRUCTURAL validates the design — Its linear behavior confirms correct full-tree reconstruction.

About TObject

TObject is one of the foundational classes of ASCOOS OS, serving as the primary representation of structured data and behavior within the core. It is designed with extensibility, safety, and performance in mind.

Its cloneObject() method is one of its most powerful features, offering multiple cloning modes:

• DEEP — Full recursive cloning of all properties.
• SHALLOW — Lightweight cloning with reference preservation.
• STRUCTURAL — Rebuilds the structure without copying values.
• PROPERTIES-ONLY — Clones only the properties array.
• DEEP-PROPERTY-ONLY — Selective deep cloning of specific paths.

This flexibility allows ASCOOS OS to handle complex data structures with full control and minimal resource usage.

About the ASCOOS OS Core Architecture

ASCOOS OS is a modular, extensible, and extremely lightweight PHP-based application operating system, engineered for high performance and low resource consumption.

Its architecture is built upon:

• A clean object hierarchy with TObject as the foundation.
• Strict separation of concerns and layered core design.
• Minimal overhead in loading, memory, and execution.
• High extensibility through modules, drivers, and extensions.
• Exceptional stability even under extreme workloads.

With only 13.06 MB RAM usage and 0.606 sec load time for 429 classes, the ASCOOS OS core demonstrates performance levels that surpass many larger frameworks in its category.
