Sequential logic is faster (see the benchmark below the fold), but it almost never matters. The clearer and more maintainable code should always be selected. Only a demonstrated<\/em> need should cause one to cease optimizing for the programmer and begin optimizing for the machine. By demonstrated, I mean measured–you ran it and found it to be too slow.<\/p>\n

The second example violates the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)<\/a> principle and is a minor maintenance problem.<\/p>\n
