If one had a long page of functions (~50) that a script selected

OOOH, I like multiple choice questions. Let's see, I have a
33.33% chance of guessing the correct one...
I would say that they switch and if/else are both the same. The
variable function call would be more elegant and probably use less
code. Overall, I would say that any difference in speed between
these would be miniscule anyway. What are you doing that would
make it matter how many more nanoseconds one control statement is
over another?
One other thing, a quick google found these two threads indicating
that switch may be faster:
