Skipping schema validation greatly speeds up the execution about graphql-php HOT 1 CLOSED

You're absolutely right, we've noticed this in real world usage as well. Unfortunately we haven't gotten around to writing proper documentation for advanced usage yet, but I made a gist of a service we're using: https://gist.github.com/Jalle19/fc17e8046fa1d530c02c80c337e47e96

The service improves production performance by:

• not validating the schema at all (we validate the schema in our CI pipeline so we know it's valid)
• it caches the parsed schema document so it only needs to be parsed once
• it calculates a hash of each query encountered and remembers whether it was valid or not, so each query is only validated once

This approach is more robust but it also involves more code. The graphql() helper function is designed to get up and running quickly. I think instead of adding a parameter to it the README should be expanded to explain these concepts and how you can take advantage of them to speed up your average query execution time.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!
