I ran some speed tests once, but I'm not sure where I published them.

The result was that under PHP 3 there is an order of magnitude of
difference in processing " and ' strings.

But under PHP 4 the difference is around 5%.

Personally I always use " as it makes the code just a little more
consistent and easier to maintain. I hate having to change ' to "
when I need to add a variable to a string, and always forget to
change them back when deleting all vars!
