Hm... - from a logical point of view, the first loop uses a static count,
while the latter loop always has to check the value of i and we have to
increment manually...
Although my tests show something different ?:-o
So maybe I'm completely wrong with that!
on test
ms = the milliseconds
repeat with a = 1 to 10000
repeat with i = 0 to 99
repeat with j = 0 to 4
end repeat
end repeat
end repeat
put the milliseconds - ms
put i & " / " & j & " / " & a
end
on test2
ms = the milliseconds
i = 0
repeat with a = 1 to 10000
repeat while i < 100
j = 0
repeat while j < 5
j = j+1
end repeat
i = i+1
end repeat
end repeat
put the milliseconds - ms
put i & " / " & j & " / " & a
end
