Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 254,586 loops for a total of 5,091,720 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000022) milliseconds.
Avg difference (5.647) milliseconds per 254,586 loops.
Total difference 112.94 milliseconds for 5,091,720 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (13.2231) milliseconds and Code 2 was (9.7954) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "global", was:

global $dummy;
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
	$dummy = $i;

The second test, "local", was:

$dummy = null;
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
	$dummy = $i;
