I have  wrote an email to the glpi plugin author to fix its Wiki.

Sorry about hijacking 7 year old thread, but I also would like to request timezonedb pecl module included in the repo.

Here are the reasons:

- If PHP uses System timezone database, it will cause about 600 file operations every time tz data is initialized (ie. in almost every run)
    easy to verify with strace:

    strace -s 100 -r php -n -r"print strtotime('2022-01-01');" 2>&1 | grep stat

  if internal tzdb is used, it will open only a couple of files. Makes big difference in some cloud environments with a slower IO

- Litespeed Web Server team, for example, recommends using it:

- Cloudlinux has packaged it to their alt-php repos.
