Faster PHPUnit tests
While creating unit tests for an app I was building, I delved a bit into testing a bit beyond the app. The two screenshots below show the speed differences while running phpunit.


The first screenshot (screenshot1) shows the result of running phpunit using the locally installed phpunit in the application. This resulted in faster unit test, 30ms to be exact and 4.00 MB.
The second screenshot(screenshot2) shows the output of running the exact tests but in this case using the phpunit installed globally. This took about twice the time the locally installed phpunit executed.
The above differences would not be easily noticed while running a series of small unit tests, but the performance differences would become more noticeable while running a significant number of tests.
