array_walk() 95.31%

The array_map() test took 0.5852 seconds.
The array_walk() test took 0.614 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 153,244 loops for a total of 3,064,880 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000009) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.440) milliseconds per 153,244 loops.
Total difference 28.80 milliseconds for 3,064,880 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.7870) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.8356) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "array_map()", was:

/*
function foo_map($v)
{
	return $v + 1;
}
*/

$GLOBALS['dummy'] = array_map('foo_map', $GLOBALS['dummy']);

The second test, "array_walk()", was:

/*
function foo_walk(&$v)
{
	$v = $v + 1;
}
*/

array_walk($GLOBALS['dummy'], 'foo_walk');
