Uppercase Booleans vs. Lowercase in PHP

Question

I've written simple code to check the differences between false and FALSE: Each iteration was doing something that:

    for ($i = 0; $i < self::ITERATIONS; ++$i) {
       (0 == FALSE) ;
    }

Here are the results:

Iterations: 100000000
using 'FALSE': 25.427761077881 sec
using 'false': 25.01614689827 sec

So we can see that performance is very slightly touched by the booleans case - lowercase is faster. But certainly you won't see.
