Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 272,938 loops for a total of 5,458,750 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000001) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.000) milliseconds per 272,938 loops.
Total difference 5.14 milliseconds for 5,458,750 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.0000) milliseconds and Code 2 was (0.0000) 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']++;
