Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 281,119 loops for a total of 5,622,380 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000008) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (2.357) milliseconds per 281,119 loops.
- Total difference 47.14 milliseconds for 5,622,380 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (8.6777) milliseconds and Code 2 was (8.4365) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "addslashes()", was:
