Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 174,218 loops for a total of 3,484,360 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.850) milliseconds per 174,218 loops.
Total difference 17.00 milliseconds for 3,484,360 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.2918) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.0459) 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']);
