Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 276,168 loops for a total of 5,523,360 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000002) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.453) milliseconds per 276,168 loops.
Total difference 9.05 milliseconds for 5,523,360 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.9880) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.6863) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "include_once", was:

clearstatcache();

include_once('supplement/func1.inc');

The second test, "function_exists()", was:

clearstatcache();

if (!function_exists('f2'))
	include('supplement/func2.inc');
