short 100%

long (x200) 97.481%

The short test took 0.9054 seconds.
The long (x200) test took 0.9288 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 171,792 loops for a total of 3,435,840 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000007) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.170) milliseconds per 171,792 loops.
Total difference 23.39 milliseconds for 3,435,840 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (8.0767) milliseconds and Code 2 was (9.9551) 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);
