Subject: Performance: switch vs if ... else if
I had to process based on a parameter that could take
one of 6 different single-character string values. I
had been using an if .. else if construct.
Interesting numbers. Can you show us the exact code of the if .. else
construct?

Here is the entire code. The variables o and p are used to make sure
there is actually some work done in each call to the test methods. I've
seen cases (mainly in Delphi) where an optimizer completely removed
large chunks of code because it wasn't doing anything. I don't know of
java can do that or not...
