[php-src] Issue #21493: Question About Clone Performance in Php8.5

Issue: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/21493
Author: oleibman

### Description

This is a question, not an issue, but I didn't see a different way to ask. We have been running some benchmarks to test the performance of cloning a fairly large object vs. serialize/unserialize. On Win11, we see the surprising result that 8.5 clone runs in about 25-30% of the time that it takes for Php8.1/2/3/4. We didn't expect, and don't see, a significant change in serialize/unserialize. We are, of course, happy with this result, but somewhat puzzled. There doesn't seem to be anything in the change log which suggests that such an improvement is part of 8.5. Did I miss something there? Is there a change that didn't make it to the log? Is our application just lucky in this respect? I can provide more details if you need them.
