Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 249,178 loops for a total of 4,983,560 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.248) milliseconds per 249,178 loops.
Total difference 24.96 milliseconds for 4,983,560 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (1.6458) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.5856) 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']);
