2.4 seconds doesn't seem so bad on 10 million iterations, but yes, it
does show that you should avoid it if it's really not necessary. Most
often I'll use that sort of syntax if I do something like this:
$greeting = "Hello $name, not seen you since $date";
which might be slower than:
$greeting = 'Hello ' . $name . ', not seen you since ' . $date;
but it is a whole lot neater and still gets syntax highlighting applied
in a decent IDE or editor.
Thanks,
Ash
Agreed.
Making things easy for both you and the programmer who follows is
more important than cutting a few nanoseconds off compute time. After
all, just displaying that information (i.e., echo) will take far more
time and even vary more than that between monitors.
