Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 140,031 loops for a total of 2,800,620 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000008) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.154) milliseconds per 140,031 loops.
Total difference 23.07 milliseconds for 2,800,620 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (1.9970) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.2728) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

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

if (preg_match('~http://www\.google\.com/~', $GLOBALS['dummy']) != 0)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = 42;

The second test, "strpos()", was:

if (strpos($GLOBALS['dummy'], 'http://wwww.google.com/') !== false)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = 42;
