Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 132,994 loops for a total of 2,659,880 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000014) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (1.808) milliseconds per 132,994 loops.
- Total difference 36.16 milliseconds for 2,659,880 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (6.5193) milliseconds and Code 2 was (6.6518) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "=== null", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
{
$GLOBALS['dummy3'] = $GLOBALS['dummy1'] === null;
$GLOBALS['dummy3'] += $GLOBALS['dummy2'] === null;
}
The second test, "== null", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
{
$GLOBALS['dummy3'] = $GLOBALS['dummy1'] == null;
$GLOBALS['dummy3'] += $GLOBALS['dummy2'] == null;
}
