Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 132,909 loops for a total of 2,658,180 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000007) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.905) milliseconds per 132,909 loops.
Total difference 18.10 milliseconds for 2,658,180 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (4.1177) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.8877) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "==", was:

for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy3'] = $GLOBALS['dummy1'] == $GLOBALS['dummy2'];

The second test, "===", was:

for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy3'] = $GLOBALS['dummy1'] === $GLOBALS['dummy2'];
