The integer test took 0.5941 seconds.
The float test took 0.6065 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 132,594 loops for a total of 2,651,880 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.618) milliseconds per 132,594 loops.
Total difference 12.36 milliseconds for 2,651,880 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (3.0600) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.2221) 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'];
