whereas to echo it you'd have to concatenate the string. false
you don't have to concat strings with echo you can print vars the same way as print

$a=12.3456;
echo $a, 'BR';
printf('%1.2fBR', $a);
12.3456BR
12.34BR

slightly faster than print given the same output.
however, given it's Monday, I could be wrong.

I ran your code in both windows and linux and got
faster speeds, on a regular basis, for echo. That
said, the speed differences were not great(minor is a
