The test labeled "short" was the faster by 0.029 seconds, (5.145% faster)

short 100%

long (x200) 94.855%

The short test took 0.534 seconds.
The long (x200) test took 0.5629 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 119,564 loops for a total of 2,391,280 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000012) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.448) milliseconds per 119,564 loops.
Total difference 28.96 milliseconds for 2,391,280 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (3.1275) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.9681) 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);
