Line execution difference (0.000027) milliseconds.
Avg difference (7.585) milliseconds per 278,876 loops.
Total difference 151.70 milliseconds for 5,577,520 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (12.4857) milliseconds and Code 2 was (5.1288) 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)
