in thread Premature and micro optimization...

Hmm, I must not have expressed myself clearly. It is not you, but your colleague who is guilty of (passive) micro-optimization, and focussing on a wrong thing.

I agree that adding to the code and ending up with something that would appear to be faster, is indeed bizarre.

    I misunderstood you the same way. Can I suggest that the problem was that you said "you" when you meant "he"?

    Your original post had:

    Not only are you micro-optimizing, but you're looking, IMO, at the wrong spot.
    Hope this helps.

      The original "you" was intended as plural. Really. :)
