float 100%

integer 95.333%

The float test took 1.0672 seconds.
The integer test took 1.1195 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 278,969 loops for a total of 5,579,380 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000009) milliseconds.
Avg difference (2.613) milliseconds per 278,969 loops.
Total difference 52.25 milliseconds for 5,579,380 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.4999) milliseconds and Code 2 was (8.5646) 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'];
