Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 140,195 loops for a total of 2,803,900 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.665) milliseconds per 140,195 loops.
Total difference 13.29 milliseconds for 2,803,900 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.5274) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.0070) 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, "callback", was:

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

$GLOBALS['do_something_cb'](74);
