Given most compilers, if you actually look, it USUALLY generates the exact same code.

If the switch is pretty tightly packed and sequential, then the compiler MAY create a jump table which ends up being a smidge faster. What one compiler does another may not.

Yeah, I was actually thinking that it could create a jump table out of it. I haven't actually looked at compiled if vs switch code, though.

Oh well then... Cool, I was just told by someone that switches were slower... Hm... Good thing I'm using switches in my code

Thank you guys for clearing that up
