speed of hash('md5',) VS md5()
2017-07-14, on a i7-3540M CPU @ 3.00GHz, md5() is slightly quicker than hash('md5',)
This code takes 2.29 seconds
<?php
for($i=0;$i<10000000;++$i) md5("$i");
?>
while this one takes 2.77 seconds
<?php
for($i=0;$i<10000000;++$i) hash('md5',"$i");
?>
But in average, less than half a second for 10 000 000 repetitions is a very minimal advantage.
