Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 161,989 loops for a total of 3,239,780 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000001) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.218) milliseconds per 161,989 loops.
Total difference 4.36 milliseconds for 3,239,780 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (16.5334) milliseconds and Code 2 was (16.4431) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "@define()", was:

@define('CONSTANT', $GLOBALS['dummy']);

The second test, "!defined()", was:

if (!defined('CONSTANT'))
	define('CONSTANT', $GLOBALS['dummy']);
