Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 287,724 loops for a total of 5,754,480 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000013) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (3.617) milliseconds per 287,724 loops.
- Total difference 72.33 milliseconds for 5,754,480 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.4195) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.5392) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "echo", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) echo 'some text';
The second test, "<?php ?>", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) { ?>some text<?php }
