Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 282,159 loops for a total of 5,643,180 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000008) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (2.327) milliseconds per 282,159 loops.
- Total difference 46.55 milliseconds for 5,643,180 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (14.9517) milliseconds and Code 2 was (10.5003) 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);
