Re: [PHP] shuffle or mt_rand

Just did a quick benchmark for 10.000 hands (making a full deck on
your code, 23.5 players):
Microtime difference:
Ryan's code:15.725826978683
Tijnema's code:0.40006709098816

Unique decks out of 10000:
Ryan's code:10000
Tijnema's code:10000

When making a full deck my code is 40 times faster, and a lot less
memory intensive. And as you can see, for both all 10000 decks are
unique, so both are random :)

But, also when generating cards for only 4 players, my code is twice
as fast as yours, and both generate still 10000 random decks:

Microtime difference:
Ryan's code:0.82403707504272
Tijnema's code:0.40426802635193

Unique decks out of 10000:
Ryan's code:10000
Tijnema's code:10000



Hey Tijnema,

I really had no doubt about your code being faster and cleaner... (as i mentioned in my original post) but can you send me the benchmarking scripts that you used so i may test them a bit more?

Thanks!
Ryan
