strcmp() 98.232%

The === test took 1.0692 seconds.
The strcmp() test took 1.0884 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 277,217 loops for a total of 5,544,340 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000003) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.962) milliseconds per 277,217 loops.
Total difference 19.25 milliseconds for 5,544,340 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.2933) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.0138) 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, "strcmp()", was:

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