PHP tick call analysis

ticker.php

<?php
/*
 * Output:
 *
 * T
 * #1:TTT  -> 2 ticks (removed echo tick)
 * #2:TT   -> 1 tick  (removed echo tick)
 * #3:TTTT -> 3 ticks (removed echo tick)
 * #4:TTT  -> 2 ticks (removed echo tick)
 * end:T% *
 *
 * One tick has to be removed for each section, which is the echo invocation.
 * Thus, only variant #2 is faster by one tick...
