Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 201,213 loops for a total of 4,024,260 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.929) milliseconds per 201,213 loops.
Total difference 18.57 milliseconds for 4,024,260 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (4.2175) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.2982) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "if", was:

for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
{
	if ($GLOBALS['dummy_true'])
		$GLOBALS['dummy'] = $GLOBALS['dummy_data'];
	else
		$GLOBALS['dummy'] = 6;
}

The second test, "ternary", was:

for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy'] = $GLOBALS['dummy_true'] ? $GLOBALS['dummy_data'] : 6;
