Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 236,099 loops for a total of 4,721,980 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000015) milliseconds.
Avg difference (3.502) milliseconds per 236,099 loops.
Total difference 70.03 milliseconds for 4,721,980 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (6.4022) milliseconds and Code 2 was (8.6033) 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']);
