Description

In [60324] the base version of WordPress used in the performance tests was changed from 6.7 to 6.8. This commit did not trigger a performance test run.

After the subsequent commit, [60325], ​the performance test run ran into memory exhaustion errors when extracting 6.8. The change was reverted in [60326].

This problem needs to be investigated.

Is 6.8 just way bigger than previous releases that this suddenly happens? Someone just reported this in the WP-CLI repo as well: ​https://github.com/wp-cli/core-command/issues/287

Usually I'd just recommend increasing PHP memory limit, e.g. php -d memory_limit=512M "$(which wp)" ...

That was my first thought but there's almost no change.

  • 6.7.2 zip: 28.4 MB
  • 6.8.1 zip: 28.6 MB

Unzipped they're both 79 MB.
