Result: Discarded

The test labeled "short" was the faster by 0.1094 seconds, (9.234% faster)

short 100%

long (x200) 90.766%

The short test took 1.0758 seconds.
The long (x200) test took 1.1852 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 263,461 loops for a total of 5,269,220 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000021) milliseconds.
Avg difference (5.472) milliseconds per 263,461 loops.
Total difference 109.44 milliseconds for 5,269,220 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (7.3510) milliseconds and Code 2 was (10.1694) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "short", was:

for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = substr($GLOBALS['dummy_short'], 10, 10);

The second test, "long (x200)", was:

for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++)
	$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = substr($GLOBALS['dummy_long'], 10, 10);
