How to speed up php-redis (it's very slow)?

Question

PHP

Right off the
bat, the redis-benchmark on the server shows ~120k set/get operations per second, which suits me.
when testing php5.6 + redis
100000 iterations
lrang name 0 -1
- ~7 seconds are executed...
If we arrange everything in one large transaction (pipeline), then about ~0.6 seconds... which gives an increase of x10 speed, but one large transaction I don't like.
redis-server version 3.0.6 (default config).
php-redis version (3.1.2-1+deb.sury.org~xenial+1).

Answer 1

Slow for what?
How many Redis operations do you have within one user request?
