Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 285,035 loops for a total of 5,700,700 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000003) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.765) milliseconds per 285,035 loops.
Total difference 15.30 milliseconds for 5,700,700 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (4.6975) milliseconds and Code 2 was (5.1425) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "urlencode()", was:

$GLOBALS['dummy2'] = urlencode($GLOBALS['dummy']);

The second test, "base64_encode()", was:
