Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 132,815 loops for a total of 2,656,300 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000031) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (4.178) milliseconds per 132,815 loops.
- Total difference 83.55 milliseconds for 2,656,300 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (7.7848) milliseconds and Code 2 was (6.7487) 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;
}
