RES: [PHP] Odd performance problem

My tests on PHP 4.4.8

Default files:

Run 1)
done at 100045

Time: 12.5804 Seconds

Run 2)
done at 100045

Time: 12.6775 Seconds

Run 3)
done at 100045

Time: 13.0696 Seconds

Now editing the file, removed the switch case 'a' part.

Run 1) 
done at 100045

Time: 12.6981 Seconds

Run 2)
done at 100045

Time: 12.8659 Seconds

Run 3)
done at 100045

Time: 12.7886 Seconds

As you can see, there's no really big difference here. It really does look
like it's slower, but .1 sec slower.

Runs the same for me either way... under PHP4 and PHP5. You must have a
nice system, takes 22 seconds both ways on my Athlon 2400 :)
