No Description

Historical Results

Based on (4) saved test runs, The test labeled "fcall" was (on average) the faster by 0.0126 seconds, (1.445% faster)

fcall 100%

no fcall 98.555%

The fcall test took 0.856 seconds.
The no fcall test took 0.8686 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 229,167 loops for a total of 4,583,330 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000003) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.000) milliseconds per 229,167 loops.
Total difference 12.55 milliseconds for 4,583,330 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, "fcall", was:

/*
function do_something()
{
	for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++)
		$GLOBALS['dummy'] + $i;
}
*/

do_something();

The second test, "no fcall", was:

for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy'] + $i;
