Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 254,393 loops for a total of 5,087,860 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000009) milliseconds.
Avg difference (2.308) milliseconds per 254,393 loops.
Total difference 46.16 milliseconds for 5,087,860 loops

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);
