Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 148,117 loops for a total of 2,962,340 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000006) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.905) milliseconds per 148,117 loops.
Total difference 18.10 milliseconds for 2,962,340 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (8.3506) milliseconds and Code 2 was (8.2294) 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']);
