where is the test? ... and, is that kind of test where you put 12345678
variables inside a string?
Cause I am developer, not a monkey, obviously if there are more than TOT
concatenations to unclude variables I won't use string concatenation ... now
test my case, the string $var instead of "$var", and come back whenever you
want.

that's enough for me ... because I don't write 1 line of code, but thousands of
lines of code for an application.
Less than a millisecond for a single loop, means a second when there are a lot
of loops.
Micro optimizations, as I said, are simply faster ... and I don't waste any
time, I simply know what could be better, for that circumstance, and I use it.
Waste of time is only if you don't know micro optimizations, to me these are
natural, we write same application in the same time, trust me, except mine will
have micro optimizations ... and at the end same development time, faster
result for me, it's 1 plus 1
For those without micro optimizations knowledge, here there is a good start
point but there is more:

Regards, still waiting for a real case scenario where my code style will be
slower ( the array , as $arr[] is the fastest, compare with a function call,
array_push, and bring me results if you have time, but THAT will be a waste of
time )
