Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 141,759 loops for a total of 2,835,180 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000015) milliseconds.
Avg difference (2.179) milliseconds per 141,759 loops.
Total difference 43.59 milliseconds for 2,835,180 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.5036) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.2433) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "ob_start()", was:

ob_start();

for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = $i * 2;

ob_end_clean();

The second test, "not", was:

for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = $i * 2;
