Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 128,630 loops for a total of 2,572,600 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000003) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.397) milliseconds per 128,630 loops.
Total difference 7.94 milliseconds for 2,572,600 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.6672) milliseconds and Code 2 was (5.7181) 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'] = (int) $GLOBALS['dummy1'] === (int) $GLOBALS['dummy2'];
