Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 285,569 loops for a total of 5,711,380 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000011) milliseconds.
Avg difference (3.123) milliseconds per 285,569 loops.
Total difference 62.47 milliseconds for 5,711,380 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (8.5127) milliseconds and Code 2 was (9.4205) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

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

$GLOBALS['dummy'] = array(
	0 => ord($GLOBALS['packed']{0}),
	1 => ord($GLOBALS['packed']{1}),
	2 => ord($GLOBALS['packed']{2}),
	3 => ord($GLOBALS['packed']{3}),
);

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

$GLOBALS['dummy'] = unpack('C4', $GLOBALS['packed']);
