quote:That is, 99%? In my experience that means the same. Run it again/use another compiler/use another computer and you might get 98%, or 101%. Maybe even a couple more percent difference than that. In fact, I think some compilers are capable of optimizing them into the same thing. Basically, don''t worry about such a small difference. The common wisdom is "optimize by changing the algorithm, let the compiler handle the micro-optimizations".
As I said earlier, I was just curious. I know it''s useles
to be thinking of such tiny details when the compilers
will probably always do better that me.
It''s still always interesting to know.
