Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 259,267 loops for a total of 5,185,340 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000019) milliseconds.
Avg difference (4.956) milliseconds per 259,267 loops.
Total difference 99.13 milliseconds for 5,185,340 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.6708) milliseconds and Code 2 was (7.6923) 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']);
