Well,
My guess (no facts here) would be the first is slower.
First the "'s need to be checked for $variables, it would be quicker to put
'.
And then an operation of copying needs to be done. Allocation as well on the
c side
for the new, larger variable.
Then the display.
The second snippet displays the lines without the additional operation of
allocation/concatenation.
Who knows though..I'd like a more fact based explanation.

Subject: [nyphp-talk] testing a theory
Hi, I have a quick (and probably silly) question. Is there performance
difference between the following two snippets. Does it make a
difference if there are hundreds+ of lines?
<?php
$content = "this is the start of a bunch of lines";
$content .= "another line";
$content .= "yet another";
echo $content;
?>
vs.
<?php
echo "this is the start of a bunch of lines";
echo "another line";
echo "yet another";
?>
