I ran a small benchmark on microtime() itself to check whether supplying the argument would make any performance difference. microtime(true) is faster than microtime(false). <?php $start = microtime(1); for ($i = 0; $i < 1000000; $i++) { microtime(true); } echo (microtime(1) - $start)." (micortime(true))\n"; $start = microtime(1); for ($i = 0; $i < 1000000; $i++) { microtime(false); } echo (microtime(1) - $start)." (micortime(false))\n"; $start = microtime(1); for ($i = 0; $i < 1000000; $i++) { microtime(); } echo (microtime(1) - $start)." (micortime())\n"; ?> These are the results on my box (black macbook/gentoo/PHP 5.2.8-pl2-gentoo): 5.89410400391 (micortime(true)) 6.99222111702 (micortime(false)) 6.72082686424 (micortime()) Successing runs of the same script verified these results. ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 78.142.168.126 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.microtime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90152 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90152/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90152/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90152/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90152/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90152/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90152/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90152 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90152 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
