Today I’m revisiting an article I wrote last August about conditionals: if-else chains, ternary (? :) operators, and switch statements. In that article I showed that if-else chains are about as fast as ternary operators and that both of them are 10-15% faster than switch statements. Today we’ll take a look at how those conditionals scale beyond just the few cases in the last article.

Conditionals Performance
Aug 16
Now that the Flash Player 10.1 testing is through I can return to a comment asking about the performance difference between if-else chains and the ternary (? :) operator. Further, I’ll discuss switch statements to see if there is any difference in performance for these commonly-used methods of flow control.
