I *assume* that the strings in the first loop do not actually allocate a
struct str for every instance, but instead reference a single statically
allocated instance. The second loop is probably allocating a new struct
str for every sprintf().

Compare with:

for ($i=0; $i < 1000000; $i++) {
$value[$i] = "23.4567890123";
}
for ($i=0; $i < 1000000; $i++) {
$value[$i] = floatval($value[$i]);
}
