ARMbasic impliments case like an if-elseif. So there is no real performance difference (I think -- see below). In either way the case you expect should be first in the if or case.

To be sure, I use the compiler to measure statement times like --

Code: Select all

x=1000000
while x
  x=x-1
  ....< statements to be tested  >
loop
This will measure the actual time in execution. You can subtract the time of the while loop without any statements.
