Comments on: Stop Micro-optimizing http://blog.seanja.com/2009/11/stop-micro-optimizing/ I have come forward in time from the year 1986 to share this with you Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:44:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: SeanJA http://blog.seanja.com/2009/11/stop-micro-optimizing/comment-page-1/#comment-3522 SeanJA Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:11:35 +0000 http://blog.seanja.com/?p=789#comment-3522 I do too to be honest, which really screws me up when I switch over to java... What do you mean invalid char? The point is, if you are working on a project that already has double quotes, don't worry about changing them up. Side note: I think the single quote looks cleaner (and you have to hit shift less, so it is a coding optimization).

Yes, this is because I heard the tip about micro optimization. I realize it probably doesn't help any significant amount, but my code is standardized! Nice article.

At that point too, you should be looking at optimizations (a better database schema, better database queries, better algorithms...) and then maybe, if you are still having problems start micro-optimizing.

If I am not mistaken, the micro-optimization is about time to convert PHP source code to bytecode. So your brenchmark measures nothing. Now, the difference is probably small for lot of applications. But it might do a difference for Web sites with millions of users, or large files mostly holding localization strings. Well, I would answer: “Stop making meaningless micro-benchmarks”…
