Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 277,126 loops for a total of 5,542,520 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000016) milliseconds.
Avg difference (4.351) milliseconds per 277,126 loops.
Total difference 87.03 milliseconds for 5,542,520 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (3.6891) milliseconds and Code 2 was (8.5100) 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);
