Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 246,506 loops for a total of 4,930,120 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000001) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.229) milliseconds per 246,506 loops.
Total difference 4.58 milliseconds for 4,930,120 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (4.7125) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.4338) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "callback", was:

if ($GLOBALS['dummy'] === 41)
	$cb = 'do_something1';
else
	$cb = 'do_something2';
$cb();

The second test, "if", was:

$v = 'do_something1';
if ($GLOBALS['dummy'] === 41)
	do_something1();
else
	do_something2();
