Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 227,734 loops for a total of 4,554,680 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.054) milliseconds per 227,734 loops.
Total difference 21.07 milliseconds for 4,554,680 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (1.4679) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.7537) 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;
