I've added a plain echo to complement the plain print, and in the 5 or 6 runs I've done print is always faster, but not by much. -Stuthttp://dev.stut.net/phpspeed/ You forgot to benchmark echo, everyone (me anyways) knows echo is faster than print. Why you ask? Because print returns a value, echo does not :)This is a good example of how the flexibility of PHP can bite you, but is also a good example of how bad coding adds both complexity and inefficiency to the resulting software. If f() is called often, there might be a noticeable speedup if it were replaced. I once had a complex database ORM-HTML mapping app that was about 10% faster when I replaced all the "" strings with '' strings. This was on a slow machine with an early PHP, but little things like this can be very important.
