Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 121,468 loops for a total of 2,429,360 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000000) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.034) milliseconds per 121,468 loops.
Total difference 0.69 milliseconds for 2,429,360 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.1228) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.2250) 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');
