The test labeled "md5()" was the faster by 0.0601 seconds, (7.717% faster)
The md5() test took 0.7192 seconds.
The sha1() test took 0.7793 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 168,327 loops for a total of 3,366,540 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000018) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (3.007) milliseconds per 168,327 loops.
- Total difference 60.14 milliseconds for 3,366,540 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.6801) milliseconds and Code 2 was (6.9658) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "md5()", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = md5($GLOBALS['dummy']);
The second test, "sha1()", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = sha1($GLOBALS['dummy']);
