Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 287,084 loops for a total of 5,741,680 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000003) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.901) milliseconds per 287,084 loops.
Total difference 18.01 milliseconds for 5,741,680 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.9032) milliseconds and Code 2 was (6.4356) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "notices", was:

for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
	$GLOBALS[dummy]++;

The second test, "clean code", was:

for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy']++;
