The float test took 0.6174 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 138,815 loops for a total of 2,776,300 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000025) milliseconds.
Avg difference (3.409) milliseconds per 138,815 loops.
Total difference 68.18 milliseconds for 2,776,300 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (6.2949) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.4984) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "float", was:

$GLOBALS['dummy'] = 0.0;
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy'] += $GLOBALS['dummy_float'];

The second test, "integer", was:

$GLOBALS['dummy'] = 0;
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy'] += $GLOBALS['dummy_int'];
