Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 284,022 loops for a total of 5,680,440 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000002) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.480) milliseconds per 284,022 loops.
Total difference 9.59 milliseconds for 5,680,440 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.0811) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.8971) 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']);
