Result: Discarded
The test labeled "fcall" was the faster by 0.0357 seconds, (4.808% faster)
The fcall test took 0.7065 seconds.
The call_user_func() test took 0.7421 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 189,423 loops for a total of 3,788,460 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000009) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (1.784) milliseconds per 189,423 loops.
- Total difference 35.68 milliseconds for 3,788,460 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.4377) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.3564) 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($i)
{
for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++)
$GLOBALS['dummy'] + $i;
}
*/
do_something(74);
The second test, "call_user_func()", was:
/*
function do_something($i)
{
for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++)
$GLOBALS['dummy'] + $i;
}
*/
call_user_func('do_something', 74);
