title: Laravel 5.2 High cpu with long routes
body: <p>I've setup a ubuntu 14.04 with php 5.5 and apache 2.4.</p>
  
  <p>I installed a fresh laravel 5.2. No database connections in the project.</p>
  
  <p>I then when to app/Http/routes.php and edited to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Route::get('/', function () {
      return view('welcome');
  });
  
  
  Route::get('/test/direct', function () {
      return view('welcome');
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So basically I have 2 routes just showing the welcome view.</p>
  
  <p>I then run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ab -n 9999999 -t 300 -c 30 http://xxxxx/laravel52/public
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Cpu never goes over 6% and I get the following results:</p>

  <p>It seems that if it is not the root route laravel spikes the cpu if there are a lot of connections. This also happend with a fresh install in laravel 4.2.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone point out why this happens? I really need this solved.</p>
  
  <p>My server has a 8 core Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz with 8GB of RAM.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
