How come version 11 is slower than version 10?

Hello. People often write me an email about this problem. Guys, the problem is in two things:

• Laravel 11 is really slow compared to Laravel 10, by 11-14%;
• In version 11 of the package, at your request, soft delete was added for transactions, transfers and wallets;

It is soft delete that causes the main loss of performance. But the main problem is that starting from laravel-wallet ^9.6 and up to ^11.0, the package was super fast due to subtle optimizations.

We try to find the balance between functionality and performance.

Best wishes. All the best to you.

It is better to look at the comparison within the framework of 10.x versions. 10.0 differs from 10.1 only in support of laravel 11. In this benchmark for 10.x we run 10.0 with laravel 10, and 10.1 with laravel 11 and immediately see a performance drop of up to 30% (even without soft delete).

On real projects the drop is around 12%, no more.
