php内置函数file_get_contents，在读取文件内容时如果磁盘繁忙或准备数据慢，file_get_contents会进入忙等待，期许数据会飞快的到来，而不会等哪怕1ms。
它也允许用来读取http内容，而且等待数据的行为和读取文件一样，而等待http返回和等待磁盘准备数据在时间上可不是一个量级的，所以当file_get_contents用来读取http内容时就进入了秒级的忙等待，从而导致cpu飙升。
不过貌似新版本的php修复了该问题，或与某些编译项有关。
问题再现：
strace -rv -p <PHP进程ID> -o strace.log
cat strace.log

php进入了持续数秒的非阻塞poll循环，直到数据返回，cpu使用率在此期间会飙升。
对于读取http内容，最好避免用file_get_contents，可以改用下面的自定义函数取代：
复制代码 代码示例:
<?php
/**
* url_get_contents函数
* edit: www.jb200.com
*/
function url_get_contents($strUrl, $boolUseCookie=false)
{
$ch = curl_init($strUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 3);
if ($boolUseCookie && is_array($_COOKIE) && count($_COOKIE) > 0) {
$cookie_str = '';
foreach($_COOKIE as $key => $value) {
$cookie_str .= "$key=$value; ";
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $cookie_str);
}
$response = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch) != 0) {
return false;
}
curl_close($ch);
return $response;
}
