Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 213,450 loops for a total of 4,269,000 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000016) milliseconds.
Avg difference (3.494) milliseconds per 213,450 loops.
Total difference 69.88 milliseconds for 4,269,000 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.9304) milliseconds and Code 2 was (6.3640) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

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