Result: Discarded
The test labeled "rand()" was the faster by 0.0747 seconds, (6.300% faster)
The rand() test took 1.1104 seconds.
The mt_rand() test took 1.185 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 285,326 loops for a total of 5,706,520 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000013) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (3.733) milliseconds per 285,326 loops.
- Total difference 74.65 milliseconds for 5,706,520 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (6.2161) milliseconds and Code 2 was (8.2892) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "rand()", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy'] = rand(0, 1000);
The second test, "mt_rand()", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy'] = mt_rand(0, 1000);
