Result: Discarded
The test labeled "rand()" was the faster by 0.0141 seconds, (2.640% faster)
The rand() test took 0.5214 seconds.
The mt_rand() test took 0.5356 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 144,956 loops for a total of 2,899,120 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000005) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.707) milliseconds per 144,956 loops.
- Total difference 14.14 milliseconds for 2,899,120 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (0.2424) milliseconds and Code 2 was (0.6770) 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);
