Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 120,474 loops for a total of 2,409,480 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000001) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.077) milliseconds per 120,474 loops.
Total difference 1.54 milliseconds for 2,409,480 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.6315) milliseconds and Code 2 was (0.3039) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "@ (shut up)", was:

$temp = 0;
@$GLOBALS[dummy]++;
$GLOBALS['dummy'] = $temp;

The second test, "error_reporting(0)", was:

$temp = error_reporting(0);
$GLOBALS[dummy]++;
error_reporting($temp);
