Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 227,765 loops for a total of 4,555,300 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000006) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.256) milliseconds per 227,765 loops.
Total difference 25.12 milliseconds for 4,555,300 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.4499) milliseconds and Code 2 was (0.5994) 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;
