Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 285,181 loops for a total of 5,703,620 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000004) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.222) milliseconds per 285,181 loops.
Total difference 24.44 milliseconds for 5,703,620 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.3450) milliseconds and Code 2 was (5.1291) 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();
