The benchmark script posted in another answer is counting prepare() and execute() to the time so I write a script for testing only fetch time. I have MySQL database, with about 100000 rows of real data. LongRow contains TEXT column (about 4kB of data per row). ShortRow is (30 bytes per row). FETCH_INTO uses predefined class with all column properties. PHP version 5.4. MySQL 5.5.35. One thing is missing here: average of some runs.
