CFSwitch and how fast it is 1

[DrumAt5280]

I am using the CFSwitch statement instead of the many CFIF statements because i understand it is much faster.

My questions is, does it matter if i have 5 CFCase statements or 100 CFCase statements within the CF Switch in terms of speed - would they both be equally as fast or would the one that has 100 CFCase run slower.

Is the server going to take longer to process 100 statements than it would to process 5 statements? Yep.

But to the human eye it would be hard to tell, and you probably wouldn't even notice. (unless you've got some HEAVY processing going on in those statements)



Hope This Helps!

now, if you ever wanted to test 100 cfcase vs 100 cfif's you can do the getTickCount() trick to test.
