Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 161,911 loops for a total of 3,238,220 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000035) milliseconds.
Avg difference (5.739) milliseconds per 161,911 loops.
Total difference 114.78 milliseconds for 3,238,220 loops

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();
