Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 289,561 loops for a total of 5,791,220 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000015) milliseconds.
Avg difference (4.267) milliseconds per 289,561 loops.
Total difference 85.33 milliseconds for 5,791,220 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (4.5894) milliseconds and Code 2 was (6.7021) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "multiply", was:

$GLOBALS['dummy'] = 0;
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy'] = $GLOBALS['dummy_int'] * 2;

The second test, "add", was:

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