How does the typical PHP workflow affect the accuracy of CPU usage measurements?

The typical PHP workflow involves executing scripts in a shared environment, which can lead to inaccurate CPU usage measurements due to interference from other processes running on the same server. To improve accuracy, it is recommended to isolate the PHP process and monitor its CPU usage independently. 

<?php
// Start CPU usage monitoring for the current PHP process
$startTime = microtime(true);
$startCpuUsage = getrusage();

// Your PHP script code here

// End CPU usage monitoring
$endTime = microtime(true);
$endCpuUsage = getrusage();

// Calculate CPU usage
$cpuUsage = ($endCpuUsage['ru_utime.tv_sec'] - $startCpuUsage['ru_utime.tv_sec']) +
            ($endCpuUsage['ru_utime.tv_usec'] - $startCpuUsage['ru_utime.tv_usec']);

echo "CPU usage: " . $cpuUsage . " seconds";
?>
