> I'd always thought that the most efficient was the switch I know that the haXe compiler uses a jump table, I'm not sure about the AS3 compiler. But as already mentioned there is an extra opcode for switch, and even if the compiler doesn't a jump table, it might use one in the future.
So, switch at least isn't slower, even if it isn't faster yet it has the potential to become faster in the future, and it's more readable in any case -- making switch the preferable choice. The question should be "is switch on int faster than switch on String?"
