The test labeled "sha1()" was the faster by 0.0172 seconds, (2.246% faster)
The sha1() test took 0.7468 seconds.
The md5() test took 0.764 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 170,760 loops for a total of 3,415,200 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.858) milliseconds per 170,760 loops.
- Total difference 17.16 milliseconds for 3,415,200 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.4103) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.2676) 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']);
