Description:
------------
When script subtract value from two "microtime", it produce value in unexpected way. script take almost a fraction on second but substraction of value from taken from "microtime" make it incremented. it looks like it taking near around 9-10 seconds.

Test script:
---------------
$time_start=microtime(TRUE);


/****Performance Check****/
$time_end=microtime(TRUE);
var_dump(PHP_VERSION, $time_end-$time_start);



Expected result:
----------------
0

Actual result:
--------------
9.5367431640625E-7

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might 
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly 
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is, read this:
http://www.floating-point-gui.de/

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

If you run the test script, it actually produces that result without taking 9 seconds. That's odd, the script holding only 

$time_start=microtime(TRUE);


/****Performance Check****/
$time_end=microtime(TRUE);
var_dump(PHP_VERSION, $time_end-$time_start);

I actually rerun it in PHP 5.6.20 and 7.1.6 it returns float(0) but in 7.1.8 and 7.0.22 it returns higher values.

what about reading the links you got already provided - it does NOT take 9 seconds notice the E-7 which means "move the comma 7 positions left"

Thanks, not a bug
