The test labeled "float" was the faster by 0.0487 seconds, (8.236% faster)

float 100%

integer 91.764%

The float test took 0.5422 seconds.
The integer test took 0.5909 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 134,810 loops for a total of 2,696,200 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000018) milliseconds.
Avg difference (2.433) milliseconds per 134,810 loops.
Total difference 48.66 milliseconds for 2,696,200 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.1463) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.2270) 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'];
