Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 126,344 loops for a total of 2,526,880 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000019) milliseconds.
Avg difference (2.373) milliseconds per 126,344 loops.
Total difference 47.46 milliseconds for 2,526,880 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (3.3511) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.0262) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "commas", was:

echo $GLOBALS['x'], ' test ', $GLOBALS['y'], $GLOBALS['z'], ' test ';

The second test, "concat", was:

echo $GLOBALS['x'] . ' test ' . $GLOBALS['y'] . $GLOBALS['z'] . ' test ';
