Why is chdir() so slow?

Hello,

I've been doing some test with getcwd() and chdir() and it has turned out that calling getcwd() is much faster than chdir()

Any ideas why this is so? Is it the OS?

Tested on Windows XP

You know that getcwd and chdir do different things, right? Why are you
comparing them?

Hi,

Yes, I know they do different things but I'm wondering if chdir makes a call to the OS or does it writes the value to a CWD variable inside the PHP engine?
