Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 126,735 loops for a total of 2,534,700 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000015) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.860) milliseconds per 126,735 loops.
Total difference 37.20 milliseconds for 2,534,700 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.0492) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.1371) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "$k => $dummy", was:

foreach ($GLOBALS['dummy'] as $k => $dummy)
	$k + 1;

The second test, "array_keys()", was:

foreach (array_keys($GLOBALS['dummy']) as $k)
	$k + 1;
