Loop Expression Evaluation?

[gamerman2360]

I remember seeing a thread that had the responce times of loops. All kinds of things were tried and While got a really low score. It was concluded that "While 1" running 100 times is longer than "For $i = 1 To 100" because While was having to evaluate 1 every time the loop was run, when autoit already knew how many times to run the for(not sure this is true because if it was set like this a for loop that changed the for value back to the start would still only run however many times it was first thought to run). Anyway I just wanted to see if anyone knew what happened to that post and if using booline(err..., mabey boolene... something) values(in other words "True") would make it faster by making it easy to evaluate.

Here you go.

Ah thanks, I was looking for things like "Loop speed test".

Thats very intresting, i never knew anything like this ever existed, is this just an autoit thing or an all languages thing? this has got me worried about that wonderful little word, EFFICIENCY! :-P
